Small-town feel
Gorgeous coastline
Funky vibe
Leucadia is one of the Encinitas neighborhoods most visited by tourists. Many who plan to stay awhile end up wishing they could stay for a lifetime. Leucadia is a neighborhood that encapsulates the rustic charm of a laid-back Californian beach town. The oft-repeated local slogan is “Keep Leucadia Funky.” Most locals would agree that the neighborhood is doing a great job of doing just that.
Leucadia’s relaxed downtown is lined with surf shops, art galleries, mom-and-pop stores, coffee shops, and great restaurants. Le Papagayo has happy hour and live music daily. Solterra Winery & Kitchen pairs exceptional self-produced wines with fantastic seafood dishes. The most authentic Mexican food and soup are at La Especial Norte, a local dive.
The best coffee, tea, and outdoor setting are found at the old train station, Pannikin, and catching a snack at Leucadia Donuts on your way to work is a must. For drinks, head to EVE Encinitas for fresh fruit smoothies, Coffee Coffee for perfect caffeinated beverages, and The Regal Seagull for craft beers.
Leucadia’s beaches are among San Diego County’s best. Leucadia State Beach is composed of Grandview Beach in the north and Beacon’s Beach in the south, with Stone Steps Beach just beyond Leucadia State Beach’s southern end. All are known as popular surf spots, though Stone Steps is more secluded and consequently quieter than Beacon’s or Grandview. Encinitas Ranch Golf Course is located at Leucadia’s eastern edge. Golfers here enjoy sweeping views of the ocean and bluffs as they play its captivating course. Other facilities at Encinitas Ranch include a clubhouse with an outdoor patio where guests can enjoy food from the Ranch Grill.
Leucadia is zoned to the Encinitas Union Elementary and San Dieguito Union High School Districts.
