Encinitas Skate Park, (Poods)
Skateboard park
👍 Nice little pool set apart from the street skate area. Speaking of the street skate area, that cement is SLIPPERY!
Get to the pool early. A couple dad's brought about 10 kids and put them all in the pool to pump back and forth...I WAS dropping in and carving until then...they didn't talk to me or an...

Sea Cliff County Park
Park
👍👍 Beautiful park at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Great view point but also to hit the water. There is a narrow beach at the bottom of the cliff. I used the park as the starting point for a run. Going south makes for a great run, not keep your eyes on the tide. You may have to climb on and over the r...

J Street Viewpoint

👍 Wasn't expecting just a viewpoint (been searching for places with beach access for walking), but WOW! What a view point. This would be a great place to have a meeting spot for group walks/activities, go to clear your head and get some "Me" time, even run in to / meet new friends. I went at around 7a...

Sun Vista Park
Park
👍 Sun vista Park is a beautifully landscaped and well-maintained community park. We loved sitting at the picnic tables at the dog park watching the pups play as we ate a snack. Although my son was scared to go down the large tube slide, it was a popular spot for all the other kids. The only thing I th...
