  1. Encinitas ( Spanish for "Small Oaks") is a beach city in the North County area of San Diego County, California. Located within Southern California, it is approximately 25 miles (40 km) north of San Diego, [5] between Solana Beach and Carlsbad, and about 95 miles (153 km) south of Los Angeles.

  2. Located along six miles of Pacific Ocean coastline, learn why Encinitas is an unspoiled reminder of the historic Highway 101 beach culture that thrived in the mid-1900s. Recently named among the 20 best surf towns in the world by National Geographic, Encinitas wears its surf history proudly.

    • South Ponto Beach. South Ponto is technically in Carlsbad (it’s at the south end of South Carlsbad State Beach), but it’s right on the city border with Encinitas and only a 20-minute walk from Grandview.
    • Grandview Beach. Further south the beaches are backed by crumbling golden bluffs. Grandview was our local beach in Leucadia and is reached by a steep staircase from the small free parking lot on Neptune Avenue.
    • Beacon’s Beach. Leucadia State Beach includes Grandview and Beacon’s. Beacon’s Beach is similar to Grandview—backed by bluffs, popular with surfers, no facilities—but perhaps a little busier.
    • Moonlight State Beach. Moonlight is the most visited beach in Encinitas and much busier than Grandview and Beacon’s. It’s not as popular for surfing, though, and is probably the best place to swim on calmer days as there are lifeguards even in winter.
    • Visit Moonlight State Beach. Obviously, we can’t talk about Encinitas without mentioning the beach. Moonlight Beach is (in my opinion) one of the best beaches in San Diego, mainly because of the gorgeous cliffs along the coast.
    • Watch the Surf at Swami’s Beach. I’d say join the surf, but if you’re a surfer, you’re probably already well aware of this spot! Swami’s is a famous surf spot that is just south of the main downtown Encinitas area and Moonlight Beach.
    • Take in the Beach Views from a Viewpoint. If you’re not looking to actually go down to the beach, there are a few different viewpoints where you can get pretty views from above: D Street, H Street, I Street, and J Street.
    • Find a Quiet Moment at the Self-Realization Temple Meditation Garden. Besides going to the beach, this is one of the best free things to do in Encinitas.
