Terramar Surf Spot
I
can't express how many times I've driven past this wave and
seen it firing with awesome surf and almost no surfer's
out in the water. The subtle reefs and soft sands lead to
awesome waves that come pealing into the beach. This is
definitely a spot to check out!

Terramar is located just
South of the Carlsbad Power plant and North of Palomar
Airport Road. It can easily be passed if not looking
carefully to keep your eyes open while following the
directions below. There is not many stores or conveniences
right by this break so come prepared if spending the day.

The Parking Scenario:
There is not a designated
parking lot for Terramar but there is plenty of parking on
the side of Old Highway 101 and in the surrounding
neighborhoods. If the street if full, then I recommend
heading inland through the houses and apartments and begin
searching for an open spot.

Highway 101
Beach Accessibility and Conveniences:
The beach access for
Terramar is somewhat hard to find unless you've been there
before. It is located just South of a large tan and brown
house and just North of a large field. It is a small walkway
that leads down to a set of stairs which drop you off right
on the beach.
This beach is somewhat
secluded so there is never many people on the beach or in
the water which is awesome!

There are no public
restrooms at Terramar or within walking distance so come

Palomar Airport Road, which is just South of Terramar. There
are also some port-a-potty's located North of Terramar by
the Power plant.

take caution while surfing or swimming and make sure to know
