A beautiful place along the southern California coastline. No complaints about the sun and surf, and spending my late childhood in this quiet beachy town. However, it tends to be a bubble in terms of perspective and awareness and I'd like to see citizens here take the initiative to educate themselves more on a myriad of issues - race, education, healthcare disparities, etc. In a place that tends to feel like paradise, people here forget that there are problems that are indirectly and directly caused by their participation in commercialism, and certain industries that exploit other groups of people to a great extent.
I feel safe in Encinitas. People are kind, friendly and helpful. It is very family oriented with a lot of parks: playground structures, dog parks, skate parks and trails in the city and surrounding areas. Best of all are the beaches!
Encinitas is a beautiful city with incredible scenery and lots of lovely people. The city is very liberal in general, but there remains many conservatives; for California, we are a very balanced city. The public education is incredible and there are many high schools that rank in the top of the nation for both academics and athletics. There is lot's to do at night time for young adults and teenagers and the city is extremely safe. Although very pricey, the local markets and grocery stores have incredible, healthy food options. The people here are wonderful by my experience, and you can always meet new people at the beach, a social event, or at a bar downtown.
