Hedionda Point is a waterfront community in suburban Carlsbad
With a name that means “stinking” or “fetid,” it’d be easy to wonder why Hedionda Point is a popular neighborhood in Carlsbad. But once buyers see the blue water of Agua Hedionda Lagoon stretching out in front of them, the reasons become clear. “Carlsbad very much has the feel of a typical California beach town, and this particular neighborhood is right on the lagoon and has water access,” says Don Vandover, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker West with over 20 years of experience. “It has nice lagoon views from the neighborhood.” While the white sand beaches are just 2 miles away, Agua Hedionda provides plenty of recreation close to home. The lagoon is divided into three sections and serves multiple purposes, including a power facility, a YMCA camp and an aquaculture farm growing mussels and oysters. The inner lagoon is the recreational and residential part, where homes sit on the waterfront or high on the hillside, offering scenic views.
Hedionda Point residents have direct access to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon and the many water activities it provides.

Boating, paddling and fishing on Agua Hedionda
Agua Hedionda Lagoon is the primary source of outdoor recreation in the neighborhood. “Boating and kayaking are popular, but paddleboarding is probably the biggest thing,” Vandover says. “There are some nature walks around the lagoon and some biking.” Bayshore Drive has a public access point, where visitors can walk to the shore and launch a non-motorized boat or cast a fishing line. California Watersports owns and operates a ramp for motorboats, which requires a launch fee. A permit is required to use any boat on the water, and swimming is not allowed. Short hiking trails are available around the lagoon, including trailheads on Park Drive and Harbor Drive. Just a 2-mile drive west, residents can experience the pristine beaches of Carlsbad, offering room for sunbathing, swimming and surfing on the Pacific coast. Laguna Riviera Park is a green space with tennis courts, basketball courts and a playground.
