Downtown Encinitas is a very fun beach and surfer town with lots of character. There are lots of consignments shops, fine dining, funky and unusual stores, local library, a theatre with live performances as well as your favorite movies playing on the big screen. Some of the best beaches in Southern California are just steps away. There are many homes on the bluff that have views that you can only imagine and sunsets that are breathtaking. One of the fun attractions nearby is the Self Realization Garden that has coy ponds filled with fish, exotic plants and a view point where you can see the entire coastline from La Jolla to Oceanside.
