Learn more about Encinitas

Hang ten at Swami's Beach, immortalized by the Beach Boys in 'Surfin' USA.' The Self-Realization Fellowship Gardens offer peaceful meditation spaces on coastal bluffs overlooking the Pacific. Downtown feels like a 1950s movie set with a classic welcome sign spanning Coast Highway. Moonlight State Beach provides perfect swimming when Swami's waves prove too challenging. San Elijo State Beach attracts campers who wake to oceanfront views without the premium price. After sunset, explore main street's surf shops and seafood spots where locals debate wave conditions with scholarly precision. Families can venture to nearby LEGOLAND for a theme park experience that complements beach days.
