Swami's Beach
Our favorite beach & it is a quick 5 min walk!
Although this isn't exactly in Encinitas, if you are a beer fan this is worth the 30 minute drive for an afternoon adventure. Eat lunch in their huge open-air restaurant, sip a brew or three next to waterfalls in their lovely gardens, or take a brewery tour. Or do all of those things. They tend to get quite busy so consider a reservation.
