Encinitas is the quintessential Southern California beach town. Business people and surfers alike are lined up at Juanita’s Taco Shop for lunch. The wide sidewalks along the historic Old Highway U.S. 101 in “downtown” is lined with outdoor restaurants. Tourists and kids are seen walking around downtown barefoot, in swim suits while other are waxing down their surfboards for a session at Moonlight Beach.

Ann Dunham is the hostess of a lovely little Bed and Breakfast called the Inn At Moonlight Beach, situated on a hillside overlooking the ocean. Moonlight Beach is the most popular beach in Encinitas, a great spot to simply get some sun, enjoy a picnic, play a game of pickup volleyball, try your hand at surfing or boogie-boarding, body surf, read a book, people watch or simply “chill.”

The lovely suites at Ann’s Inn At Moonlight Beach are decorated like the rooms you’d find in a French Country Inn. Each suite has a private bath and refrigerator. What makes Ann’s Inn really special is that she bakes her guests delicious home-made, warm-from-the-oven cakes and pastries along with their breakfasts every morning.

Many guests at the inn start their day with a walk along the Pacific Ocean. From the inn you can walk for miles in either direction at sunrise and then return to the inn for a delicious home-made breakfast. Swami’s Beach was made famous by The Beach Boys in 1963 and is only a short walk along the sandy beach from the Inn.

If you stay at Ann’s Inn, you will awaken in the morning to the sounds of the of her meditative waterfall. You can drift back to sleep take a walk or jog along Moonlight Beach as Encinitas awakens.

After their early morning activities, guests return to the Inn and relax with a cup of fresh, hot Starbucks coffee and the morning newspaper in Ann’s breakfast sunroom, or enjoy their breakfast outside in the sunshine next to her soothing waterfall.

In the evenings, guests enjoy romantic moonlit walks on the beach. Others prefer to relax on the front porch of the Inn with a glass of wine while they enjoy the twilight over the ocean. When guests are ready for bed they can snuggle down under fine cotton linens and down-filled pillows and let the soothing songs of the waterfall and distant surf lull them to sleep.

For other accommodations, the traveler will find that Del Mar California Hotels and Carlsbad Bed and Breakfasts are plentiful in the beach towns of coastal San Diego.

Encinitas is blessed with 6 miles of gorgeous beaches – eleven of them. So if you want surfing, swimming, scuba diving, boogie-boarding, sunning, reading a book, jogging, volley-balling or just basking in the serenity of a secluded beach, Encinitas has it all.

Booking travel tickets and hotel rooms remains the first thing on the to-do-list when planning a trip. If you haven’t made arrangements in advance, the search for a good travel lodge before the vacation period is exhausting.

Tourism agents advertise extensively to sell their vacation packages, but you need to do your homework too and decide what your expectations are before seeing what you are offered. Here are a few tips you may need when in search of a quiet inexpensive travel lodge, and and ask yourself these questions for a good start.

Do you want to go on holiday on or off the peak season? Are you tight to a fix date for the holiday? How much can you afford to spend on a travel lodge? How many people are going on the trip with you? Plenty of hostels, hotels, apartments and condos are suitable as travel lodge accommodation with different levels of comfort, starting with regular amenities and ending with luxury apartments. From travel lodge to travel lodge it is normal for the rates to differ, not to mention that far in advance booking contributes to getting a really fair discount. Thus, some hotels even allow one the flexibility to book rooms twelve months in advance.

Internet portals facilitate the finding of a travel lodge considerably, as many of them include travel-related menu options. But for such technologies we have access to at present, it could be impossible to find a nice affordable travel lodge quickly. So far we have talked about holiday makers who need convenient travel lodge solutions, but there are very business people who have jobs that involve a lot of traveling, and they too can benefit from the use of travel-related web sites. Some companies make their deals through rental contracts for a travel lodge in order to provide the commuting employees the chance to work in convenient conditions.

The booking of such a travel lodge is made only after a negotiation of the contract, particularly if the company requires the use of the travel lodge for an indefinite period of time. Individual users in search of a travel lodge, who do not have the back covered by a corporation, should ponder over several quotes agreeing to any further rental formality, and fortunately web sites do allow comprehensive checking. As for the market tendencies, it is good to point out that there has been a reorientation in the travelers’ preferences for cottages, when traveling to Europe and Great Britain in particular.
