The Beacon La Costa

Great shopping plaza in Carlsbad. Recently went here to attend the trick or treat event for Halloween. I love how they engage the community with holiday events. The shops come together to give back to the community. Good food, shops, and businesses.

Such a clean mall with easy access in and out and great shops ❤️💪

Lola 55 was a great impromptu lunch spot. We had great margaritas and as I am on a mission to try all fish tacos in Encinitas, theirs are top notch

They have been slowly updating the buildings at this shopping center for some time. It is starting to look nice, and slowly the spaces are filling up. Unfortunately, it's not easy to know what stores are in the place as the signage is super low key and you can't see much from the street. So, I am not sure how much the remodel will help as it's not the sort of place you might go to because you saw something while driving past.

Had lunch at Shake Shack. Best Hamburger I have eaten out in a long time. Patties are made fresh and the sauce is delicious. The Pomegranate Basil drink is to die for. It's so good👍🏽 Highly recommend.

I've known this shopping center forever, and I really like that they kept the original charm of the old white buildings with Spanish tile roofs after the big remodel. (I miss the old Vons, but what can you do? It's been over 20 years.)

The place is under construction and nothing was open! The lofty coffee joint was booming, as the caffeine addict made the journey dispite the cones and detour's. The industrial park is getting a much needed face lift, and what I saw it looked pretty good.

Only one way in and out which is super narrow and no pedestrian path so people walk on the road for some idiotic reason walking three across and blocking traffic.

Nice variety of shopping and restaurant options available for those visiting, unfortunately the parking is inadequate for the offerings. Maybe that's why their website makes a point to mention "rideshare drop-off / pick-up friendly". We've been to the center three times, usually midday, both during the week and once on a weekend. Two of those times we couldn't find parking and left to take our business elsewhere. Yes we could have driven around and around for the eventual space but there wasn't anything in there to warrant that for us. Maybe someone else won't feel the same way. May try again in the future if I'm in the area but won't make plans to meet anyone there in case there isn't any parking.

Anytime I've buzz in Carlsbad recently it's been coming from The Beacon. With new restaurants and shops popping up what feels like every month- there's always been something new bringing me back here. I'm planning my next trip for when Jeni's opens up soon - but I'm already a big fan of Adobe by Jess Vargas for responsibility sourced goods and of course Sweetgreen! Can't wait to see what pops up next!

This is a shopping center in Carlsbad, CA, that has a variety of places, but also many empty buildings that have yet to be filled with businesses. From a tailoring shop to Shake Shack and Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, there are places to explore. They have a small section of cute, outdoor seating with a fireplace for nighttime, and they even have EV chargers for those Telsas and other electric cars! Come check it out!

Consisted with a bunch of new business opening up in this plaza, you'll be amazed, they got a bank in front, as you're driving further inside, they got more spaces, a dental office, a luxury fitness club Equinox, Mimi's alterations and tailoring; new restaurants spotted as well such as Shake Shack, Sweetgreen, Jeni's Splendid ice cream. I can't wait for more stuffs to arrive here

I really like this shopping center! It's nice and new and has some great stores. I especially like the selection of restaurants here, such as Jenny's and Shake Shack. There is plenty of parking and it's at a good location. The stores and eateries are a little on the expensive side, but it's Carlsbad, it is what it is.

So many great restaurants. im so glad the abeacon has opened. Great place to meet up with friends!

it's ok. shopping center doesn't match the architectural renderings. they need more common area seating and features like couches and firepits. glass fence near the street side could help reduce traffic noise. I frequent Lofty which is great,and hope they'll continue to choose more quality tenants. great start on that front!
