Arrive before 9 AM on summer weekends - Moonlight Beach lot fills by mid-morning.
The D St lot is a reliable backup when Moonlight is full - it is a short flat walk to the sand.
Swami's free lot fills fast on good surf days - street parking on K St is the overflow.
Downtown Encinitas has a free 2-hour city garage on 2nd Ave for dining and errands.
