This is our favorite plant based restaurant! We went here all the time when we lived in Del Mar. Everything is delicious but a few recommendations are the pancakes for breakfast and the harvest bowl, enchiladas, or miso bowl for lunch or dinner.
A great gluten free cafe for breakfast or lunch. They have plenty of vegan and non-vegan options, along with Tiff's favorite matcha in San Diego - get it with the cashew milk!
A casual classic California restaurant. Serving up healthy items for all diets such as burritos, salads, and sandwiches. Also a great spot to grab a latte or a snack and then stroll through the nearby Self Realization Fellowship gardens and cute downtown Encinitas!
A great spot for juices, smoothies, or a quick and light bite to eat. Lance loves the Chunky Monkey Toast, and Tiff loves the Mint Chip Smoothie. Pro tip: turn it into a bowl!
In our opinion, this is the best grocery in the world! Everything is organic. They have amazingly fresh produce, a hot food bar, and juice and smoothie bar. There is a food court above the grocery store as well with a wide variety of restaurants.
While living in Del Mar, we went to this beach almost every day. We have fond memories of eating watermelons on the sand and enjoying evening picnics in the park while watching the sunset. This is also where Lance proposed! This beach has a special place in our hearts and has the best sand and waves in the whole area. A great place to go for a walk!
This is one of our favorite nature walks! It has minimal elevation gain and is great for all fitness levels! You'll be able to walk next to the ocean. We recommend going in the early mornings before it is too crowded or hot.
An Encinitas classic. This beach is known for amazing sunsets, evening bonfires, and great waves!
These beautiful gardens are near downtown Encinitas on a cliffside overlooking the ocean. Founded by Paramahansa Yogananda who had his ashram nearby, they are a beautiful place to relax and contemplate nature and life. Highly recommended as a peaceful stop during your visit.
