It\u2019s close enough to town where you can climb the stairs up the bluff and find a couple of restaurants nearby.\u00a0 There are no restroom facilities here.\u00a0 Further south is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parks.ca.gov\/?page_id=660\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Carlsbad State Beach<\/a> which offers camping on the cliffs overlooking the ocean.\u00a0 This is a state-run facility and tends to book up fairly early so book your reservations ASAP. 800-444-7275.<\/p>\n<p>Encinitas has two excellent beaches that stand out from their other beautiful beaches, Swami\u2019s Beach and Moonlight Beach.\u00a0 Swami\u2019s is named after Swami Paramhansa Yogananda, of the Self-Realization Fellowship which overlooks this surfing paradise. Swami\u2019s is one of the best surfing spots there is, experienced surfing only is suggested. The parking lot is pretty small and fills up early.\u00a0 It\u2019s best at sunset for the views and to catch the late afternoon surf show.\u00a0 The \u201cmoonlight\u201d in Moonlight Beach comes from the locals who use to have moonlight picnics on the beach in the early 1900s.\u00a0 This wide beach offers swimming, surfing, and fishing and has excellent amenities.\u00a0 Picnic facilities, restrooms, concessions (summer only), and fire rings.\u00a0 There is also tennis and volleyball with plenty of available parking.\u00a0 Both of these beaches can be reached from I-5 off Encinitas boulevard.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Del Mar has maintained its status as a dog-friendly city since its incorporation in 1959.

A picnic area and parking lot are near the entrance on North Torrey Pines Road.\u00a0 Further south you\u2019ll see hang gliders, and paragliders soaring overhead.

This is one of the best family beaches in San Diego because the surf is so calm, although there can be strong currents\u00a0 Just to the north end of this beach lies the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Scripps Pier. The pier is not open to the public, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/101thingstodosw.com\/san-diego\/birch-aquarium-san-diego\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steven Birch Aquarium<\/a> is within 1\/2 mile of La Jolla Shores and is open daily. La Jolla Shores is the only beachfront place to launch a boat in San Diego. Small vessels can be launched directly into the surf at the foot of Avenida de la Playa, approximately 300 yards south of the lifeguard station. This is an unimproved boat launch and vehicles are allowed to drive on the sand in a very limited area at five miles per hour or less. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended.\u00a0 There are public restrooms located at both ends of the beach.<\/p>\n<p>In the heart of La Jolla is Children&#8217;s Pool Beach, also known as Casa Beach. It is not a pool, but has long been called &#8220;Children&#8217;s Pool.&#8221;A concrete sea wall built in 1931 protects the beach from crashing waves, making it a favorite spot for divers, swimmers, and families with children. Before the &#8220;wave wall&#8221; was built, there was a shallow water area between a large rock and a mainland bluff called &#8220;Seal Rock Point.&#8221; The sea wall was built on top of several rocks, across the channel. It is topped by a paved walkway protected by railings. Local philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps paid for the sea wall project in order to create a place where children could play and swim that would be protected from waves coming onshore and the beaches adjacent to this area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"better-gallery-container\"><div id=\"gallery-1046932555\" class=\"better-gallery  better-gallery-img-publisher-lg\" data-gallery-id=\"1046932555\"> <div class=\"fotorama\" data-nav=\"thumbs\" data-auto=\"false\" data-ratio=\"16\/7\"><div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/101thingstodosw.com\/san-diego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/La-Jolla-Shores-150x150.jpg\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/101thingstodosw.com\/san-diego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/La-Jolla-Shores.jpg\" class=\"slide-link\" data-not-rel=\"true\">\r\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"San Diego Beaches, Endless Fun\" data-id=\"8448\" data-src=\"https:\/\/101thingstodosw.com\/san-diego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/La-Jolla-Shores.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 262px;

There are no public restrooms anywhere near this area.\u00a0 Lifeguards are on duty throughout the summer. The public parking lot has only 18 spaces. The only other parking is on the streets in a residential area.<\/p>\n<p>PB or Pacific Beach is located further south along coast highway.\u00a0 You can also exit I-5 at Garnett and head west.\u00a0 Located at the end of Garnett is the Crystal Pier, which has small cottages for rent.\u00a0 Pacific Beach runs about 2 miles south and has a beachfront boardwalk (concrete) that runs its length.\u00a0 There are numerous shops and restaurants located along the boardwalk.\u00a0 Public restrooms are located at the foot of Grand Avenue at the lifeguard station.<\/p>\n<p>The next beach south is MB or Mission Beach.\u00a0 Home to some of the best volleyball playing in the country, there are numerous courts all along the beach.\u00a0 OTL or \u201cover-the-line\u201d is a popular game similar to baseball that is played further south near the Mission Bay channel\u00a0 There are public restrooms available at San Diego Place and the boardwalk.<\/p>\n<p>Across the inlet is OB or Ocean Beach.\u00a0 Starting at the north end of the beach near the jetty is dog beach where owners can bring their pets for a run on the beach.\u00a0 You are responsible for any cleanup if necessary. The Ocean Beach Pier is located on the south end of the beach and is ideal for fishing or people gazing.\u00a0 There is a bait shop and restaurant on the pier.<\/p>\n<p>On Coronado Island, Coronado Central Beach runs the length of Ocean Boulevard and is known for its sparkling sand caused by the mineral mica.\u00a0 Lifeguards are on duty in season and public restrooms are available.\u00a0 Walk a little further south along the beach and you&#8217;re standing in front of the world-famous Hotel Del Coronado.<\/p>\n<p>Silver Strand State Beach features extensive beaches on both the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. Combined with the area\u2019s mild climate, the beaches make Silver Strand one of the area\u2019s finest recreation destinations. Camping, swimming, surfing, boating, water-skiing, volleyball, and picnicking are popular activities. Anglers can fish for perch, corbina, grunion, and yellow-fin croaker.<\/p>\n<p>Park facilities include four large parking lots, which can accommodate up to 1,000 vehicles.\u00a0 Restroom and cold showers are available on each side of the park.\u00a0 Beach restrooms are for Day-Use visitors.\u00a0 Per Coastal Commission regulations, campers must be in fully\u00a0self-contained vehicles.\u00a0 Fire rings for cookouts are\u00a0available on the beach during summer.\u00a0 It is always a good idea to call ahead regarding operating hours, fees, and conditions, which can change.<\/p>\n<p>This article certainly doesn\u2019t contain all of the beautiful beaches located in San Diego County but hopefully, it will give you a start with the variety of beaches we have to offer.
