Learn To Surf
Surf instructor Kahuna Bob has been a local legend for a quarter century. His unique and entertaining teaching style puts new surfers at ease during his private or group lessons. The City of Encinitas Parks and Recreation Department awarded an exclusive surf-lesson license to Bob for Beacons Beach where the waves break perfectly for beginning surfers.
Become A Beach Boy (or Girl)
World renown Swami's Surf Break was made famous by the Beach Boy's in their 1963 classic rock and roll song "Surfin' USA." Swami's is only two blocks from downtown Encinitas along Old U.S. Highway 101 and still draws the finest surfers in the world on a daily basis, making for wonderful surfer-viewing from the cliffs above. Big wooden staircases with built-in benches bring you down to the beach. Picnic tables at the top are a wonderful place to sit and take in the sweeping views of the ocean and witness some phenomenal surfing feats.
Take In A "Talkie"
If you wax nostalgic for an old-time "real" movie theater, take in a film at La Paloma Theatre, where they feature first-run hits, "art" movies and surf/skate/snowboard/music film premieres. It's THE place to see Rocky Horror Picture Show. La Paloma Theatre was built in 1928, and was one of the first theatres to show "Talkies" in 1927 with the Warner Brothers film "The Jazz Singer" starring Al Jolson.
Meditate At A Temple
Swami Yogananda came to Encinitas in 1936 and built the Self-Realization Temple on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. His philosophy of love and introspection still attracts thousands of followers from around the world. The beautiful Self-Realization Fellowship grounds - lush gardens and Koi ponds - are open to the public each day. Here you can walk, meditate, breathe deeply and put life into perspective - the only sounds you might hear are singing birds and the pounding of the surf on the cliffs below.
Work On Your Tan
The most popular beach in all of North County San Diego is Moonlight Beach, just two blocks from downtown Encinitas - it's a wonderful spot to soak up sun, enjoy a picnic, play volleyball, surf, boogie-board, body surf, read a book, watch other people people-watch or simply take it easy. It's a state park complete with plenty of parking, fine life guard stations, beach-gear rentals, showers, playground, snack and lunch shop and even fire-rings on the beach where you and your friends can enjoy bonfires late into the night.
Watch The Sun Set Over The Ocean From Your Private Hot Tub
The Inn at Moonlight Beach is a romantic little Inn perched on a hillside above Moonlight Beach overlooking both the Pacific Ocean and the quaint beach town of Encinitas. It's a magical place of sand, sea, sun and surf. 4 lovely ocean-view suites recall a French-European Seaside Inn with spotless private baths, wi-fi internet, refrigerator and Cable TV. All this, yet prices are $50 - $75 less than other Bed & Breakfast Inns in San Diego. Inquire about the Penthouse Suite with it's own private balcony and very private hot tub overlooking Pacific Ocean sunsets.
