Amazing place to go with kids. A lot of sand to play, and a beautiful playground in front of the beach. Restroom facilites, volleyball courts, and lifeguards. We had a pleasant afternoon there!
King tides made it wild!

We were here just after the full moon and the King tides, huge high tides and way low low tides. If you timed it right there was great beach walking. If you didn't then you were getting wet! Sunsets were so red and went on forever!
A beautiful beach with some amenities.

This is my local beach within walking distance of my home. The special thing about this section of the beach is that even in low tide you can get a good walk in. There are tables, fire pits, bathrooms and showers (to get the sand off). In the summer you can rent umbrellas and surfboards. It's a very family oriented, local beach.
I go there all year round.
A sandy, southern Ca. beach to spread your blanket

Free! Yes, an easy to access beach that is maintained with a large parking lot above it and a path down to it. (a bit crowded in the summer!). Next to the beach is Cottonwood Creek. Walk south to Swami's beach and beyond or north for miles - at low tide. There is a new snack bar and restrooms. The beach is always sandy. Lifeguards at your service. There is a kiddy playground and a grassy picnic area. Did I mention volleyball courts. This beach has it all - all year. It is two blocks off the freeway at the Encinitas Blvd. exit. It isn't a large beach park but the sand stretches north and south for walking. Restaurants within walking distance. The Coaster train station is less than a half mile away - an easy walk to the beach.
Local and Lovely

The very best of encinitas. Grab pizza and head down to the sand. play volleyball then go back up the road for ice cream and iced lattes. Boogie boards and football tossing are in session. Love this spot
