Grandview Surf Beach

Grandview Surf Beach is a sandy shore in Encinitas along the California coast, bordered by cliffs on either side. Waves roll in from the ocean and create breaks suitable for different water activities.

The beach became known as a water sports location in the 1960s when local people discovered its reliable ocean conditions. It has since developed into an established destination for these activities.

The beach draws people who spend time in the water and along the shore throughout the year. It has become a gathering place for both visitors and residents seeking outdoor activities by the ocean.

A stairway from street level provides access to the beach, and parking spaces and restroom facilities are available in the area. Plan to arrive early in the morning or later in the afternoon when water activity is stronger and fewer people are present.

The beach produces both left-hand and right-hand waves due to its particular geological shape. This means visitors spending time here can observe different wave patterns throughout the day.
