At our core, the Encinitas Lifesaving Association is a community of waterpeople. We're lucky enough to work in the waves and play on the beaches of one of the most beautiful places around—San Diego's North County—and we believe that engaging safely with the ocean can be a source of inspiration, positive change, and connectivity for us as both individuals and as a community. 

​

That's why we're dedicated to making every day a day at the beach, by working to prevent aquatic injuries, accidents, and fatalities. Our members include current and former Encinitas ocean lifeguards, junior lifeguards, and other water-aware community members who are passionate about advancing public education in the areas of water and ocean safety.

​

We operate as a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization, to support lifeguards working in Encinitas. ​​
