A friend recently joined the Oceanside yacht club and invited me to come check it out. It was the…read moreFourth of July so we were just going to visit before it got crazy. We easily found parking which I hear is not always the case. We climbed to steps to the main entrance (although I heard there was an elevator, I didn't see it). It was all decked out for the 4th. We ordered drinks and the staff were friendly enough. They have a popcorn machine so we grabbed a scoop of popcorn and found seats outside. It was a beautiful day and we had a nice view of the harbor. There was a band playing and people were dancing, enjoying the holiday. Definitely a festive atmosphere. The have food that looks and smells good but we weren't hungry. It's not a "fancy" yacht club by any means but it is down home and welcoming and a great spot to grab a drink and a meal and socialize. I hope I'm invited back.

I looked online and saw great reviews for Blue Paddle. It was so easy to book and we took our lesson at Carlsbad Harbor. Maggie is a fantastic coach and the kind of person who you actually enjoy hanging out with. We cannot recommend her highly enough. She inspires confidence, is thorough, patient, encouraging but not patronizing, and able to juggle different abilities in a group with ease - so you need not worry that your more experienced partner/family member will get bored. The paddle boards are lovely and clean and the 75 minutes flies by. She took great photos of us on the water with her camera and emailed them to us the same day! That was such a special touch. Don't hesitate. You will have a great experience.

For a quick run, the Rancho Carrillo Trail got the job done. While not the biggest, longest,…read moretallest, or most scenic trail around, I enjoyed it nonetheless. Maybe the key to that was ease of use. Parking was easy. & not a lot of folks out, so I had the trail mostly to myself. Over the 2 short laps I ran, for a total 3.33 miles, there were some nice elevation changes & interesting enough features to look at. & for a run, it's good stuff for a trail to be able to take your mind off of the actual running. Rancho Carrillo Trail did that.

I'd be lying if I said I was not getting frustrated on trying to find the parking to enjoy this…read moretrail HA! I was probably making it complicated. Just put in directions to the Carillo elementary school and as soon as you enter the school lot, take a sharp right to park in the public lot, no pass or payment needed. (if you turned left, you would be entering the elementary school parking) It's kind of hidden, hence why I kept passing it. Drum roll please, I finally found it and could not have been happier. Hardly any cars, maybe 1 max at 7 a.m. Come early while its overcast and not so hot out. Once you park (free parking lot off PASEO ESCUELA and POINTSETTIA LANE), there are (2) ways you can take. Look at the paved ground and decide for yourself. Either way they loop around. It's a total of 2 miles from the car and all the way around of staying ON TRACK, however, I love all the random paths & trails you can take to be adventurous from the main trail. It's so nice. I personally enjoyed the scenary. It was paved for the most part. I loved seeing a little bit of history. We did not go into the historical ranch, as 1) it was too early and 2) they do not allow dogs however, we could go up to the fence, and peak thru. It was so pretty, look at all my pictures. I loved this trail, it was a nice workout for a brisk walk or run. some incline here and there. Great for dogs and really quiet.

On 8 Aug 15, the weather was awesome, so my son and I decided to rent a few wave runners. We were…read moreat first apprehensive about the prices, but went for it anyways. The staff was awesome and were very accommodating. We rented two skis for one hour. We had thought about renting for two hours and if we had more time, we would have! The staff went over all the rules, equipment, areas to ride, etc. handed out a few life jackets and we headed out. My son had never ridden one before, but is very familiar with boating and motorcycles. My daughter rode with me! We went out past the jetty and it was on!!! Riding in the ocean and warm water of Del Mar was awesome!! Catching air off waves was intense!! What a ride!! We even saw a total of 5 Dolphins off Del Mar beach! As our time was up, the staff was there waiting to pick us up and took care of us again. Great service!! Thank you Side notes/Recommendations: Don't ride near the shore off the Oceanside Beaches. If you're between the end of the pier and the beach, you're too close! We were warned by the patrol boat! Riding in the ocean, your hands/finger tips get numb. Might try some wake boarding gloves? Also, the salt water will constantly splash in your face and eyes, if you're having fun! If you have sunglasses, bring a strap, because you will lose them! I would almost recommend some sort of goggles instead!! And lastly, a few other other things. Get a Waterproof GoPro to record the ride and a waterproof case for your IPhone, ID's, Etc. The mini PX does no have them! Just go for it!!! It's worth the money!! Have fun enjoy the ride!! We will be back!! The only reason this is not 5 stars is the launch area is so far from the rental. You might be able to get a ride with staff, but prepare to follow them and park. Might need a hide a key, or risk taking the keys with you on the ride?

The local police towed in broken down ski. The workers could not give refunds, only voucher for another day. Good thing for credit cards, you can cancel charges. Could have just been the two that day, but military bases in other places I have gone require better service of their contractors. Thoroughly inspect everything before taking out a jet ski. It may have been better if they had included some rope in the storage bins too.
