Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA

Moonlight Beach
Moonlight State Beach, one of California's best beaches, is flat, sandy, and perfect for a day of sunning or people-watching from the patio. The early morning surfing and fishing are out of this world. The athletically inclined will find some serious volleyball at the three beach courts.
The beach is well-monitored by lifeguards and has a nice playground, clean restrooms, and outdoor showers, and the ever entertaining fire rings. It also has a snack bar, which comes in handy for a quick treat like soda or ice cream.
The "moonlight" in the name of this beach comes from the fact that local residents used to come to the area for midnight picnics early in the early 1900s. Why not treat yourself to a romatic beach vacation at your own private rental villa on Moonlight Beach this summer?
