Beacon's Beach bluff is a fun, popular spot to watch the sunset with a glass of wine in hand and chat with locals!
Really good cheap tacos! The Camaron (spicy shrimp) taco is my fav! Note: It's a fun atmosphere with outdoor seating but can be a bit noisy at times so not the place you want to go if you want a calm quiet lunch/dinner.
Super old school cash only theater with a unique selection of movies!
Nice garden to walk through and great views of the ocean for photos. Very peaceful and quiet due to locals meditating around every corner!
The Crack Shack is awesome and there's an outdoor area with activities for kids!
The famous California burger and fry joint In-N-Out... just make sure you get your fries "animal style." And if you are vegetarian ask for the grilled cheese animal style... soo good!
Pannikin was the original Encinitas train station built in 1888 and is now a popular spot for coffee and sweets. Check it out! This area of town (North Hwy 101) in Encinitas is called Leucadia.
Really cool concept in the Carlsbad Village area that has shops, bars, restaurants, and sometimes food trucks. Get a wrist band when entering and taste as many beers as you like and pay at the end!
Fun spot with a huge beer selection. Stop in for a beer while walking the 101!
