Travel & Stay
Getting There
By car, Encinitas is about 40 minutes from the San Diego airport and 1.75 hours from Los Angeles International. We recommend flying into San Diego and taking a ride share, but if you find a good deal into LAX that’s a great alternative option. Depending on where you’re coming in from, it’s also worth checking out Hollywood Burbank airport. For those looking for transportation buddies, we will facilitate an airport ride share spreadsheet (closer to the date).
Because we are a family that supports public transportation infrastructure and car alternatives, it would be remiss not to mention that there is a direct Amtrak train — with great views! — connecting Encinitas (the station is Solana Beach) to both San Diego and Los Angeles.
Once you are in greater Encinitas, everything will be close — quite possibly walkable. (Bring flats!) All of the Friday and Saturday events will be at 1036 Neptune Ave. Sunday happenings will be a bit more disbursed, but we’ll help organize that; more details to come. It is a residential street and there will be no dedicated parking; if you plan to come by car, we encourage you to take a ride share from nearby.
Staying There
We had hoped to organize a couple hotel blocks, but the nearest options require individual reservations. (Apparently one had negative past experiences with rowdy wedding guests; our promises that you all would be on best behavior were unconvincing.)
We recommend staying at one of the below options. At a high level: Alila Marea Beach Resort is quite posh, but furthest away (a 5 minute Uber); Leucadia Beach Inn is no frills, but very close (under 10 minute walk); and Brisa Pacific Hotel splits the difference. There are also several nearby listings on AirBnB / Verso.

Addendum: Some of you have asked about the possibility of coordinating transportation. Absolutely! If you are interested in this, please indicate your plans here. The spreadsheet should have all the information you need to self-organize, but let us know if we can be helpful in any way!
