The Encinitas Historical Society operates the 1883 Schoolhouse and showcases the unique architectural heritage of Encinitas, California. Among its notable attractions are the two whimsical boathouses, the SS Encinitas and SS Moonlight, which reflect early California courtyard architecture and are located just two blocks from the beach.

These boathouses, built in the late 1920s, were crafted from salvaged materials and serve as private dwellings while plans are underway to transform them into a museum. They are a key feature of the Guided Downtown Walking Tour, highlighting the town's rich history and preservation efforts.
