Beach town with a heart for the outdoors.
Encinitas (Spanish for “little oaks”) is a dazzling beach town known for its surfing and a healthy outdoor lifestyle. Located in northern San Diego, this peaceful community is alluring due to its breathtaking seaside views and its small-town vibe and culture. Perennially sunny Encinitas is called the “Flower Capital of the World” because of its beautiful gardens and nurseries. In addition, residents enjoy the warm sandy beaches. There is a wide range of housing styles, from single-family houses on rural tree-lined streets to beachside condos and mansions.
The people of Encinitas are down-to-earth and outdoorsy. There is a beach vibe in this relaxed, serene, and fun community. Easygoing with a quirky flair, you’ll find people of all ages — from young people to retirees. It is the ideal place to raise a family given the number of things to see and do and the fine schools. This beach community is known for surfing and has a plethora of kid-friendly parks and beaches.
If you love delicious food and spirits/drinks, Encinitas is the place for you. Union Kitchen & Tap is a rustic but chic eatery serving rotating craft beers and delectable small plates. For a 1920s setting with a varied menu of American eats and lively entertainment every night, head to The Roxy Encinitas. If you like to support local and family-run restaurants, try Fish 101 Leucadia, where a husband-and-wife chef duo prepare local sustainably caught fish in an assortment of dishes and styles. Another family spot is Swami’s Cafe, where the hospitality is warm and menu unique (the breakfast Benedicts are yummy).
There are numerous enticing shopping options in Encinitas, from walkable outdoor areas to massive shopping malls.
Living in Encinitas means celebrating the town and life in a big way. The Encinitas Spring Street Fair has everything from art to music and games. Come sip beverages from over 25 wineries and breweries and taste restaurant samplings at the Encinitas Rotary Wine & Food Festival.
