Dining, Shopping & Entertainment
Hello Betty is a buzzy seafood restaurant dishing up oysters, fish tacos, and so much more.

And if that weren’t another, The Shoppes at Carlsbad is a quick drive away and home to tons of trendy boutiques and fine dining options.
Things to Do
Oceanside Harbor Village is a fantastic area to spend the day, where residents and tourists alike stroll, shop, and dine. You’ll love the harbor views as you sit down and dig into fresh seafood, or as you walk along the water’s edge with an ice cream cone in hand from Nana’s and Pops Sweet Shop.
