White sandy beach below cliff bluffs with a well known surfing break & clifftop parking.
1700 Neptune Ave, Encinitas, CA 92024 Get directions
"This popular surf spot is aptly named for its view of the water as you descend the wooden stairs, with palm trees framing you on both sides. At the bottom, a narrow, yet seemingly infinite stretch of beach is backed by iceplant-laced cliffs. Onlookers congregate on the stairs to watch a cluster of surfers dotting the horizon. Once you’ve made the climb back up and worked up an appetite, head over to Fish 101 restaurant and try the day's fresh catch. If you finished your surf session in the morning, check out Atelier Manna, a new restaurant in the neighborhood that offers globally-inspired healthy brunch dishes. Grandview stretches on far as the eye can see in both directions, though sunbathers should come during low tide. The lack of restrooms and any other facilities means most visitors don't stay too long, instead taking in the view from the stairs or going for a quick beach walk before moving on elsewhere. All of this means less-crowded waters that surfers will love." - Marie Tutko, Archana Ram
