Swami's

The internationally known surfing spot, a point break, located in Encinitas, San Diego County, California Swami's Beach draws up surfers from around the world, especially during the fall-winter seasons when waves can surpass 10 feat. On those days surfers line up to catch their big wave and the cliffs above are packed with onlookers.

Swami Beach got its name after Swami Paramahansa Yogananda, an Indian monk, yogi, and guru that chose the grounds and hermitage of the Self-Realization Fellowship ashram, built-in 1937, to overlook this reef point. This confluence of the ashram, its hermitage and lovely gardens with the world-class waves that wrap around point break and the breath-taking views, give Swami's a mystical allure.
