Incredible Encinitas Beaches
Author: Terry Hunefeld |
The little beach town of Encinitas is located in North San Diego and boasts more than five miles of rugged and sandy shoreline with beautiful beaches - nine of them! You can swim, surf, read books, run, jog, play volley ball, or just relax because Encinitas has it all.

If you're into fitness, you'll get a great workout at Stone Steps Beach. The author ran these stairs 5 times every morning when visiting and was in the best shape of his life. These awesome leg-building stairs lead down from the bluffs to the ocean offer fantastic views to enjoy while you work out. At high tide the ocean laps the bottom of the stairs, at low tide, the beach is up to 300 feet wide with lots of room for volleyball.
Swami's Surfing Beach was put on the map by the Beach Boys song Surfin USA. It's only four blocks from Moonlight Beach. You can walk the beach to Swami's or drive down old historic Highway 101. The best surfers in the world still surf Swami's every day - it's almost a right of passage for surfers. You can also often scuba divers just offshore from Swamis at the Encinitas Marine Life Refuge, our own underwater park.
Moonlight Beach is just a five minute walk from where I stay when I visit: a delightful little Bed and Breakfast Inn called the Inn at Moonlight Beach. Three world class beaches are within a mile or two of the Inn at Moonlight Beach, all within walking distance or a brief drive up Neptune Avenue.
Anyone can learn to surf by taking surfing classes with world-famous Kahuna Bob, an icon in Encinitas. You can find him by Googling Kahuna Bob Surfing.
Moonlight Beach is very popular with visitors and locals alike because it has lifeguards, a great kids playground, spacious parking lots, safe play areas for kids, clean showers and restrooms, beach-gear rentals, a little snack bar and a world-class wide sandy beach.
