About Carlsbad Lagoon Recreation Area

Carlsbad Lagoon Recreation Area is a watersports facility on the calm Agua Hedionda Lagoon where visitors rent equipment for water activities. The center offers motorized rentals including Waverunners, mini boats, runabouts, and pontoon boats holding up to ten passengers, alongside non-motorized options such as single and tandem kayaks, paddleboards, and pedal fishing kayaks. The facility hosts fishing programs including Spring Break Fishing Camp, where participants learn to tie knots and rigs, target specific species, and fish from kayaks and boats. California Watersports also organizes kayak fishing contests and operates private party spaces for groups. Dogs may ride on non-motorized equipment. The lagoon is located in Carlsbad, California. The Annual Passive Pass costs $399, representing a $50 savings, and grants one daily two-hour rental of a paddleboard, kayak, or aquacycle. Details appear on carlsbadlagoon.com.
