The Inn at Moonlight Beach is a hidden gem long the sandy shores of the San Diego Pacific Ocean, more romantic than
Carlsbad Hotels or San Diego Bed and Breakfasts. ~ Thomas C. Anderson, The Pacific Traveler
The Inn at Moonlight Beach overlooks beautiful Moonlight Beach just two blocks away. There are no San Diego Bed & Breakfasts any closer to the ocean. My rooms and suites recall a lovely French Seaside Inn. Each morning I bake warm-from-the-oven pastries for you to enjoy with your home-made breakfast. All this, yet my prices are $50-$75 less than similar accommodations, even though my Inn is closer to the Pacific Ocean than any Encinitas Hotel.
Inn at Moonlight Beach is located less than 2 blocks from Moonlight Beach.
Moonlight Beach is the place to watch for surfers, dolphins, whales and fantastic sunsets.
We recommend a morning walk on the beach, or anytime to swim, body surf, use our boogie-boards, play volleyball, or just relax and watch dozens (or hundreds!) of world-class surfers. Keep an eye out for Gray Whales and Bottlenose Dolphin.
Sunsets from Stone Steps Beach rival those at Moonlight Beach.
Yes, the sunsets at SeaBreeze are amazing.
Learning to surf at Beacon's Beach with Kahuna Bob or one of his great instructors can be the thrill of a lifetime. Google "Kahuna Bob" for his website.
Read a book or enjoy the waterfall in our meditative gardens.

A lovely clean place very close to the beach and down town Encinitas. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and it is well set up for storing and washing surfboards if you've come to the area to surf.

I was so pleased with my stay here in early December. The size was perfect, the food was beautiful, the atmosphere warm and inviting and carefree. I would return in a minute!
5 out of 5Outstanding!
December 06, 2012
My husband and I went to celebrate our November Birthdays and mostly to relax. The stay couldn't have been more restful. The place was immaculate and very serene, just what we were looking for. The room was cozy and the breakfasts were healthy and appetizing. We enjoyed the surrounding Encinitas area with it's small town and charming feel. There were plenty of fine restaurants to choose from and it was lovely to be able to stroll along the downtown area. We look to return soon, as everyone couldn't be any nicer.
3.2 out of 5Great place for the price! Quiet, safe, comfortable!
November 15, 2012
My daughter and I recently came to Southern Cal for a birthday trip for her. I found the Inn at Moonlight Beach online and was pleasantly surprised by the price! We stayed there 2 nights, driving about 45 minutes each way to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in between. I highly recommend staying here vs. a not-so-great-quality hotel for the same price, even if the hotel is closer to your destination! (Keep in mind that 3 stars means it met my expectations.)
5 out of 5Great experience
November 14, 2012
I had a wonderful 3 days. Jane was "Inn-sitting" during my stay and she was great. Between the lovely town, the gorgeous beach and the comfy Inn, I felt very at home and cared for. Already planning my next trip.
