Guests of the Best Western not only have the gorgeous coast as their neighbor, but also are conveniently located near many of the best activities and attractions in the area.
LEGOLAND California
Families planning to visit LEGOLAND California in Carlsbad, who are traveling on a budget, often chose the Best Western. Just about eight miles away from the hotel, the LEGOLAND amusement park is fun for the whole family!
We suggest planning ahead and purchasing the Go San Diego Pass to LEGOLAND California to maximize savings. You can combine your admission tickets with other top area attractions and activities such as entrance to SeaWorld San Diego or a kayak rental.

Only a half a mile away from the Best Western you will find the California Surf Museum. Take in and enjoy the history of surf boards and wave riding. The museum is home to events throughout the year like book signings and California Surf Day.
Oceanside Pier
The historic wooden pier, located approximately a half a mile from the Best Western, runs nearly 2000 feet long and is an Oceanside landmark. Head to the pier to watch surfers, take a long walk, go pier fishing or enjoy an al fresco meal at the end of the pier.
Look out for whales! You can see whales from the pier year round. If you’d like to check out more whales, consider a Whale Watching Tour by Hornblower Cruises, which is part of the all-inclusive Go San Diego Pass!
