How many of our beaches and vistas will you catch on your Moke & Sun adventure? 

Encinitas offers clean sandy beaches and vistas that will not disappoint!  A visit to Encinitas is not complete without taking your Moke Electric Vehicle for a spin and  visiting her breathtaking  bluffs and beaches. 

Don't miss Encinitas' iconic and historical sites like the La Paloma Theater, The Encinitas Boat Houses and Moonlight Beach Dance Parlor while you cruise around town on your Moke & Sun adventure!

Did you know, La Paloma (The Dove)  was one of the first theaters to show "Talkies." Talking pictures premiered in 1927 with the Warner Bros. film "The Jazz Singer" starring Al Jolson. Making the transition from silent pictures to "talkies" didn't happen over night, so La Paloma was also equipped with a beautiful pipe organ, a standard piece of theatre equipment during the Silent era.

Don't forget to pack your binoculars for your Moke & Sun adventure!

Did you know that 40% of the birds in North America pass by the San Elijo Lagoon on their annual migrations? 

Or that  Swami’s Marine Conservation Area protects nearly 13 square and is famous for spotting all types of marine life, including grey whales, blue whales, dolphins and more? 

Enjoy the view from the many beautiful vista points or take a stroll around the lagoons for the ultimate nature watching experience.

Nothing is better for the mind and soul than the feeling of cool ocean wind in your hair while you are cruising around in your Moke & Sun.

With a rich history and interest in nature conservation, it's only natural that Encintas became home to the Self Realization Fellowship 

making it host to a number of yoga studios and wellness spas.

Don't forget to take a ride to the Meditation gardens and enjoy the tranquil energy  & breathtaking views.

In addition to the various art galleries located throughout the city, Encinitas is strewn with murals — some hidden behind buildings and on nearly every street corner. Private businesses sporting painted entryways have become the new norm and you can even find city-owned mosaics and art pieces in select areas across town.

How many murals can you spot while cruising in your Moke & Sun adventure?
