About

Moonlight Overlook in Encinitas provides a blufftop vantage point directly above Moonlight Beach, the community's dominant coastal anchor on Moonlight Lane at C Street. The grassy terrace sits at the same elevation as the Moonlight Beach parking lot and connects via stairway access to Moonlight State Beach's sand, concession pavilion, and lifeguard-staffed swimming zone below. Benches and a picnic table line the bluff edge, oriented toward unobstructed west-facing sunset views over the Pacific. The overlook's intimate scale accommodates small ceremonies and elopements for groups of roughly ten, drawing from the same contemplative coastal energy that defines Kriya Yoga Encinitas in the contemplative corridor south of Moonlight. The City of Encinitas Parks and Recreation Department maintains the site with ADA-accessible entry from the adjacent parking area on Moonlight Lane.
