Dusty’s Top 10 Things Experience Living in North San Diego
1. Wave Watch at Swamis ( Don’t clog the line up) lol
If the surf is pumping, you’ll most likely see me surfing at Swamis. If it’s pumping, Swamis attacts a pretty good size crowd and provides a fun experience to watch all the fun.
2. Hit Dog Beach at Del Mar River Mouth
Rituals are a thing Living in North County San Diego, for most at least. Taking the doggies to Del Mar where there are some of the most expensive OCEANFRONT Homes in San Diego, is a fun thing to do, especially for FIDO!
3. Catch a good sunset at a local beach
I guess, as you can see, I have a beach bias! This last one you don’t need to really be at the beach to be able to enjoy. Maybe I can do a cool blog post about the best places to watch sunsets in North County, Carlsbad, Encinitas, San Elijo Hills etc.
Let me share with you the best of LIVING IN NORTH COUNTY, one Blog post at a time! 🌅⛱⛳️☕️
I love living in North County San Diego, and you will too! If you already do, then you know what I mean. Use me and my website to explore the real estate market, trends, the newest listed homes for sale in Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Solana Beach, Del Mar and beyond. I spend most of my time in Encinitas and nearby surfing, checking my email, responding to inquiries and real estate questions from clients and potential ones. I’m a real estate fanatic and would love to see if we are a fit to work together, to team up and achieve success!
