Encinitas is a little town located on the Pacific Ocean about 20 minutes north of San Diego airport. It's just like a 1960's California beach town. Hand made jewelery shops, the world famous Swami's Mediation Retreat, more than two dozen yoga studios and spas, a dozen Mexican take-out restaurants, and locals and tourists alike walking around with surf boards give Encinitas a 1960's feeling.
Ann Dunham, a native of Michigan, runs a little four-room Bed and Breakfast Inn that she calls the "Inn at Moonlight Beach." The Inn overlooks the ocean; Moonlight Beach is just two blocks away - no other Inns in coastal San Diego are closer to the ocean. Moonlight Beach is the most popular beach in Encinitas because it's a great spot to get some warm sun, have a little picnic, get involved in a game of beach volleyball, go surfing, try a boogie-board, body surf in the great waves, just relax and read a book or watch people.
The lovely suites at Ann's Inn At Moonlight Beach are decorated like the rooms you'd find in a French Country Inn. Each suite has a private bath and refrigerator. What makes Ann's Inn really special is that she bakes her guests delicious home-made, warm-from-the-oven cakes and pastries along with their breakfasts every morning.
Guests at the Inn might begin their day with a walk on the beach in either direction at the crack of dawn and then return to the Inn for Ann's home-made breakfast - all included in the cost of the night's stay. Swami's Beach was made famous in 1963 by the Beach Boys and is just a ten minute walk along the sandy beach where world class surfers still surf every morning.
If you stay at Ann's Inn, you will awaken in the morning to the sounds of the of her meditative waterfall. You can drift back to sleep take a walk or jog along Moonlight Beach as Encinitas awakens.
After any morning activities, guests can relax at the Inn with a cup of fresh, hot Starbucks coffee and Ann's home-made breakfast as they enjoy the local newspaper or Wall Street Journal in the breakfast room or outside in the sunshine.
After sunset, guests can take a romantic moonlit walk on the beach or simply relax on the Inn's front porch and sip a glass of wine, enjoying the evening twilight over the ocean and the little "lost-in-time" town of Encinitas. When they're ready for bed, guests can snuggle down into their fine cotton bed linens, down-filled pillows and comforters and let the calming songs of the outside waterfall lull them to sleep.
Encinitas is a wonderful place to live and to visit. No other beach town in the San Diego area has such a great selection of restaurants from Mexican take-out to fine Italian dining. If you come to visit, bring your appetite!
Encinitas is blessed with 6 miles of gorgeous beaches - eleven of them. So if you want surfing, swimming, scuba diving, boogie-boarding, sunning, reading a book, jogging, volley-balling or just basking in the serenity of a secluded beach, Encinitas has it all.
