Encinitas displays energy and vitality that come from excentric ideals and attitudes. The La Plaloma Theatre and Martini Ranch often host surf movies and live bands. You'll find plenty of recreational activities throughout the area.
Moonlight State Beach is located at the end of Encinitas Blvd. The shore drops down close to sea level and is the easiest to find. This beach has a large parking lot, lifegaurds, restrooms and snack bar. There are rocky cliffs that spread for miles just north and south of this area.
D Street will lead you to the beach known as Boneyards and runs below the bluffs from Moonlight Beach and Swami's Point. This spot is better suited for surfing rather than sunbathing.
