Just arrived yesterday, beautiful place.

Wife and son are coming on Sunday.

Wife wants to buy a swimsuit and I need to buy some swim aids for my son, floats arm bands etc. Are there any specialty stores or large sports shops in the area?

Thanks

Wow... and you are here with such beautiful weather! Welcome!

All of the suggestions are fantastic and there is also:

Target (Carlsbad or Encinitas)
Walmart... I would go to the one in Oceanside off of Marron or Vista Way-- as the store size as well as their inventory is greater than the location in Encinitas

Have a great time while you are here!

Kinda cooling off for swimming, unless your using a heated pool or a wet suit at the beach, the past few days were warm but the temps will soon drop.

I just moved here several months ago from SoFla, big change but a better area for us overall.

Thanks

We had a great time

Found what I needed at Walmart

Water was cool but beautifully refreshing, no wetsuit needed (I'm from Ireland) Waves soon knocked me over. Went swimming at 8am and 5pm everyday for the superb sunset.

We loved the facilities at the Alga Norte park. son had a blast there. saw some great value properties, especially the $1.2m house that toll properties are building (way above our price range, but still nice)

Will hopefully buy something end of this year

Thanks for all the assistance

Glad you had such a good time Tipmart! Just returned last night to Carlsbad from vacation and it's good to be home again.
