WELCOME TO ENCINITAS
Encinitas is a quintessential beach town located along six miles of Pacific coastline in northern San Diego County. Surfer Magazine named Encinitas one of the Top 10 spots in the U.S. to “eat, sleep, work, and shred,” which came as no surprise to its 60,000 residents.
Incorporated in 1986, the city brought together the communities of New Encinitas, Old Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain, and Leucadia to create a single city filled with delicious dining, spectacular surfing, and impressive shops. Encinitas has some of the most beautiful beaches in California with excellent year-round surfing conditions.

An icon in Leucadia, Encinitas is Pannikin Coffee & Tea, opened in 1968 and housed in a converted train station.
