Parks and Recreation Commission to create naming, usage options for what’s previously been known as Surfer’s Point
Homes on a bluff line the coast in Encinitas on Friday, Dec. 8, 2017. Encinitas can’t call its recently purchased, coastal bluff top property Surfer’s Point any more because the prior owner has trademarked that name and asked that it no longer be used.
Picking that name would honor the area’s first inhabitants and indicate to visitors how the property will be used, Payómkawichum artist and culture bearer Alexis Munoa Dyer told the council. Dyer is among a group of people who started a campaign months ago asking Encinitas city officials to eventually allow tribal ceremonies and the collecting of basketry supplies on the 1.43-acre site, which is on the northeast corner of Coast Highway 101 and La Costa Avenue.
The council ultimately voted 4-0, with Councilmember Kellie Hinze absent, to direct the city’s parks commission to add the naming and usage issue to its annual work plan, while noting that a tribal name was the council’s preferred option.
