Ponto Beach Walk
Experience
Adorned with stunning bluffs, Encinitas features three miles of beautiful coastline, with six inviting beaches along the route. Begin your beach stroll at South Ponto Beach, easily accessible from Alila Marea via a staircase that offers breathtaking ocean views. Explore all of Encinitas beaches during a leisurely low tide walk when water levels allow for a wider beach and better vantage point of both sea and bluffs. Check the tide schedule, then follow the bluffs south all the way from Alila Marea to the main village of Encinitas. Or simply set out with destination unknown and discover a new favorite spot on the sand to spend the day.
