About Encinitas
Encinitas is a iconic surf town defined by coastal bluffs and famous beaches including Moonlight Beach, Swami’s, Cardiff State Beach, Beacons, and Leucadia. Swami’s features a world-renowned point break for surfers, alongside extensive intertidal reef platforms that host rich tide pools at low tide. Nearby Cardiff State Beach offers gentle reef breaks and accessible tide pooling at Elijo Lagoon inlet. A low tide chart is mandatory here: negative low tides are required to explore the exposed shale reefs at Swami’s and Cardiff safely, and high tides submerge narrow beach stretches beneath the fragile bluffs of Leucadia and Beacons.
