Stairways to Heaven – Your Steps to the Beaches from Waterfront Homes in Carlsbad, Encinitas and Beyond

 

It might not be everyone’s idea of heaven, but the beach is pretty darn nice and lots of people will pay big bucks to live to it, near it, or in sight of it.

 

Waterfront Homes for Sale in Carlsbad - Carlsbad Waterfront Homes for SaleThese stairways to heaven vary immensely along our coast, especially in Carlsbad, Encinitas and Solana Beach.

 

There are some places no stairs are needed (Carlsbad State Beach, Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, some homes in Oceanside), but because of our bluffs (the edge of the continent), there are many places where they must be navigated.

 

Those who have private stairs are especially fortunate since they add great value to the home.

 

And in most areas you can no longer get permission to build them if they don’t already exist.

 

Stairs are often public, but some, of course, are private – homeowners go to great lengths to make sure they remain that way, as you will see in the photos below.

There are a few stairways to heaven that will challenge the best of athletes. And those who don’t like heights…beware!

Hey David - thanks for stopping by. It was a fun show to put together, and certainly no lack of material

John - thanks my friend. Well it could be warmer but I can't complain. The only snow we get is on the mountains.

It would be great to be in walking distance of the beach Jeff.

I was in Maui recently, all of the beaches are public beaches. So if you were in Oprah's neighborhood, you were free to walk on her beach.

I thought that was pretty cool!

On Saturdays (as part of my exercise regime) I walk up and down the stiars at Swami's several times. Talk about a workout. Anyone with their own steps to the beach usually has that built in exercise regime--if they actually go down to the sand.

Lauren - knowing the little that I know about LB I can well imagine.

Tom - Kauai seemed to be that way, too. I love it.

Ginny - well I have hiked all these stairs and some of them are REAL doozies. And I love that LZ song, too. I thought about adding a YouTube vid.

Bill - well having lived in your area I have to say I prefer this. LOL

Melissa - I am impressed. The steps at Swami's are pretty intense. But what a view.
