Encinitas is best known for the golden sands of Moonlight Beach, which is one of San Diego County’s most attractive waterfront stretches. The magnificent surf spot of Swami’s is another Encinitas beachfront highlight, named one of California’s premier surf spots and was even mentioned in the Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ USA.”
