Terramar Point
Scenic spot
🫤 I went during low tide, but it still wasn't low enough. This is a tiny strip of beach that is limited accessible. Forget walking along the beach here!
Great for surfing
I couldn't walk along cliffs, got waves up to hip level.
I suggest going to beaches south of La Costa, Encinitas & Solana Beach,...

Terramar
Public beach
👍👍 Easy parking and easy access down the stairs. Very nice beach, nice tide pools to the north. Just go down the steps and walk up (north) the beach a bit at low tide. Tide pools often have hidden treasures, such as crabs, Sea Anemones and Sea Stars (starfish). Often there are a lot of surfers.
