Beacons - Original Art

Welcome to Beacons, where the surf is chill, the cliffs are dramatic, and if you've snagged a parking spot here, you've basically won the Encinitas Hunger Games. If you’ve made it down the goat-path trail without spilling your oat milk latte, congrats—you’ve earned this view.  Beacon's Beach - officially South Leucadia State Beach - is one of Southern California's best-kept secrets, tucked into the laid-back surf town of Encinitas.

My version of Beacons captures that sacred Southern California moment when the sun hits the sandstone just right and the ocean whispers, “You could totally quit your job and become a surf instructor.” It’s a tribute to the locals-only magic of Encinitas—where dolphins photobomb your meditation and the waves are as forgiving as your therapist.

This piece is for anyone who’s ever:

• Zigzagged down a bluff in flip-flops like it was a spiritual pilgrimage

• Felt personally blessed by a sunset

• Needed a reminder that serenity doesn’t come with cell service

Hang it up, zone out, and let your walls channel the laid-back rebellion of Beacon’s Beach. No lifeguard on duty—just vibes.
