Beachcombing is a fun activity the entire family can enjoy. So, why not take the youngsters to Beacon Beach to see what you can find scattered along the seashore?

This stretch of coastline in Encinitas comes recommended by many travelers, so make sure it features on your must-see list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are loads more attractions ready for you to enjoy after Beacon Beach. LEGOLAND® California, Carlsbad Premium Outlets, and Flower Fields of Carlsbad are nearby.

8.6/10 Excellent! (2,287 reviews)

The location of the property was ideal for downtown in the Gaslamp district. The staff were very helpful with getting us checked in early without any additional fees. Thank you again! The room was clean and very inviting and I loved the digital controls for the lighting throughout the room. I would highly recommend and will be staying again on our next trip to San Diego.
