Welcome to the Platinum Award-Winning Econo Lodge, an Encinitas hotel just 2 blocks to Encinitas Beach and the ocean.

The Econo Lodge hotel is perfectly located within walking distance to Moonlight State Beach. The ‘moonlight’ in the name of the beach comes from the fact that residents used to come to the area for midnight picnics in the early 1900’s. This breath-taking wide, sandy beach offers swimming, surfing, fishing and picnicing (of course) along with fire pits for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs. Also, bring your cameras ready to shoot the spectacular sunsets.
