Encinitas Beach Front Hotels

Downtown Encinitas on the historic 101 is a charming beach town, with a 1960s flavor. If you want a historic beach town experience, and spend some time at a nice swimming beach like Moonlight Beach Encinitas or Swami’s surfing spot, then consider a stay at one of the nearby downtown Encinitas hotels along the historic 101. There are good surfing and swimming beaches all around, and you can walk all over the downtown Encinitas and the beach, or bike ride along historic 101.

Walk to Swami’s surfing spot, explore the local tidepools, visit the beautiful meditation grounds at the Self Realization Fellowship Temple, and dine at some fine local restaurants. A great taste of old Encinitas. A good jumping off spot to explore further north or south in San Diego without breaking the budget.

The historic town of Encinitas and historic 101 is part of the whole experience in Encinitas, so don't worry if your hotel is not right on the beach.
