Carlsbad was recently selected as the best retirement destination in New Mexico, according to the website “Travelawaits.com.”

The website listed the Lake Carlsbad Beach Park, golf, community theater, the Balzano Vineyard and nearby art galleries as a few of the reasons why Carlsbad might appeal to retirees. The website also mentioned the fact that two national parks, two state parks and Sitting Bull Falls are all a short drive away.

Our Age Friendly Communities Council has worked hard to help Carlsbad appeal to retirees, but the area’s natural beauty and climate does a lot of the work.
