Swami's

[3] Swami's offers a sand beach available from 4 a.m. to 2 a.m. and has lifeguard towers open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the period of Late June to Labor Day (Early September).

[3] Encinitas beaches, including Swami's, prohibit pet dogs, transportable barbecue grills, drinking glasses, and any sort of smoking or alcohol.

[4] Swami's is a major surfing destination, especially during good swells in the winter months, because of its standout right point break, the only one of its kind in North County.

Bodysurfing and bodyboarding are rare due to the highly competitive nature of the crowd to catch and ride the limited number of waves that come in sets every few minutes.

The other method of paddling out is to walk north two hundred yards and approach the main peak by means of a rougher, more turbulent shortcut.

Swami's is a common surfing ground for local professional surfers, including Rob Machado,[5] and Taylor Knox.

Yogananda came from India as a representative for the international congress of religions and wanted to bring the great teachings of meditation to Americans.

These include grassy surf beds, and rocky reefs where lobsters and various types of fish and invertebrates live and consume food.

[11] Swami's Surfing Association was established in 1964 by local surfers as a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the beach community and helping environmental issues.
