frantically Encinitas Is For Lovers: Motels And Hotels In The Land Of Sun, Sand And Surf

Encinitas is Spanish for “hills of live oaks,” describes the native vegetation found by the first Spanish expeditions in the mid 1700’s.  Our beach community is located on 6 miles of rugged cliffs along the Pacific Ocean in Northern San Diego County.

At the northen edge of Encinitas, the Coast Highway still has a few of the old hotels and motels built in the 1950s. These Encinitas hotels and motels line Historic Highway 101 in Encinitas. Most of these hotels and motels are now “two star” motels with weekly accommodations that allow smoking.

Proceeding southward, the Historic Coast Highway gives way to trendy Encinitas restaurants, chic boutiques and art studios – great for walking around in the sunshine.  The Old Coast Highway continues south through Old Encinitas, through the heart of our lost-in-time “old downtown” –  right past Swami’s Surf Beach, known far and wide for it’s awesome surfing.

Forever immortalized in the Beach Boys’ Surfin’ USA,  Swami’s is still a “surfer’s heaven” where you can watch the greatest surfers in the world practice their skills every day.  Swami’s is a delightful walk down the beach.

Encinitas is well known for its outstanding dining. People enjoy walking along historic Coast Highway 101 to any one of our many excellent sidewalk cafes, trattorias and restaurants.  2 miles south along old Highway 101, restaurants in picturesque Cardiff-by-the-Sea feature ocean front dining right on the beach with a diverse choice of cuisine, while another 3 mile drive right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean brings you to Del Mar.

Encinitas is blessed with 6 miles of gorgeous beaches – eleven of them!   Whether it’s surfing, swimming, scuba diving, boogie-boarding, sunning, reading a book, jogging, volley-balling or just basking in the serenity of a secluded beach, Encinitas has it all. The largest beach in Encinitas is Moonlight Beach.  Across the street is the Inn at Moonlight Beach, perched on a hill:  http://www.innatmoonlightbeach.com/
