Hook
Encinitas's family cove, named for turn-of-the-century midnight picnics
More
The name comes from turn-of-the-century Encinitas residents' midnight beach picnics; today it's volleyball, fire rings, and the town's family default. The Marine Safety Center rebuilt in 2018 anchors year-round lifeguards.
