Swami’s Beach Tiki
On a grassy spot next to the parking lot for Swami’s State Beach in Encinitas sits this eye-catching tiki carved from a tree stump. It always makes me smile when I walk by!

This beautiful area boasts a multitude of trees, shrubs, and succulents along with several koi ponds including the one above. Benches are spread throughout, inviting one to sit quietly under a canopy of leaves or on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
