About Encinitas
Known widely for its incredible floral industry, including poinsettias, the beachfront City of Encinitas provides a vintage feel where surfing is the dominant sport. This hip community ranges from massive rocky bluffs to the white sand of area beaches. Immerse yourself with the spiritual awaking of Swami’s, home of the Self-Realization Center and a prime spot for surfing. Pitch a tent in the area, then grab your surfboard or boogie board and hit the waves of Cardiff State Beach. For added seclusion, head to the peaceful locale of Stone Steps. The smaller communities of Leucadia and Cardiff are part of Encinitas and their beaches are included here.
