CLD

When landing at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD), sit on the Right side for the best views. On final approach to Runway 24, the flight path swings in from the northeast and lines up toward the coast, putting the Pacific Ocean and Carlsbad's shoreline in view slightly ahead and to the right as you descend. Right-side passengers get the clearer sweep of the coastline and whitewater beaches just before touchdown, while the left side mostly shows inland hills and rooftops. Notable sights include: Pacific Ocean and Carlsbad shoreline, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Carlsbad State Beach, coastal bluffs near Ponto/South Carlsbad.
