Whether you're a tourist or a local, there is only one place to find beach and surfing items literally on the beach, and that's at Offshore Surf Shop. In 1970, Barbie Baron started a small surf shop; by 1978, it had become the Carlsbad fixture it remains today. Manager Scott Tammen can provide customers with everything for the beach, both rentals and sales. Well-known for its surfing lessons, board rentals, beach accessories and swim wear, the Offshore Surf Shop is the go-to beach place in Carlsbad. It even has a webcam so you can check on wave conditions before going to the beach. Whether you want to learn to surf or just need some top quality surfboard wax, this is the place to go.
