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 local slogan is “Keep Leucadia Funky" and 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 Donut Shoppe on your way to school is a must (and an old Klinge family tradition). Head to Nectarine Grove for healthy & delicious gluten-free options, Coffee Coffee for perfect caffeinated beverages, and The Regal Seagull for craft beers.

Leucadia State Beach is composed of Grandview Beach in the north and Beacon’s Beach in the south, with Stonesteps Beach just beyond Leucadia State Beach’s southern end.
