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.
The rooms and suites at Ann's Inn at Moonlight Beach recall a lovely French Country Inn with private baths, wi-fi & refrigerator. Each morning Ann bakes her guests mouthwatering home-made, warm-from-the-oven pastries with their breakfast - all included in the cost of their stay.
Many guests at the inn start their day with a walk along the Pacific Ocean. From the inn you can walk for miles in either direction at sunrise and then return to the inn for a delicious home-made breakfast. Swami's Beach was made famous by The Beach Boys in 1963 and is only a short walk along the sandy beach from the Inn.
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 their early morning activities, guests return to the Inn and relax with a cup of fresh, hot Starbucks coffee and the morning newspaper in Ann's breakfast sunroom, or enjoy their breakfast outside in the sunshine next to her soothing waterfall.
In the evenings, guests enjoy romantic moonlit walks on the beach. Others prefer to relax on the front porch of the Inn with a glass of wine while they enjoy the twilight over the ocean. When guests are ready for bed they can snuggle down under fine cotton linens and down-filled pillows and let the soothing songs of the waterfall and distant surf lull them to sleep.
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.
