Encinitas is a coastal city in northern San Diego County, California, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 58,014. It is located about 25 miles (40 km) north of San Diego, and about 95 miles (153 km) south of Los Angeles. Each one has its own unique small-town charm and interesting history.
The city was incorporated in 1986 from the communities of historic Encinitas, new Encinitas (Village Park, etc.), Leucadia, Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Olivenhain. These communities retain their identities, and their distinctive flavors.
The town has a main street that looks to be right out of a George Lucas 1950's movie scene, including a city name sign spanning the Coast Highway that welcomes visitors arriving into the north end of town.
Once considered a rural beach community with its flower farms and plant nurseries, Encinitas still holds some of that charm from a bygone era. Train buffs will enjoy hearing the Amtrak Surfliner roll through town daily as it travels the California coast. Coast Highway 101 lies four blocks east of the beaches and parallels the coast. Encinitas has a plethora of antique shops, surf shops, restaurants, and local hangouts.
Encinitas is perfect for those looking for a less tourist-oriented destination. The community is mainly residential and has a wonderful variety of restaurants, shops, and galleries.
Swamis, a locals beach located at the south end of Encinitas, offers stunning views of the ocean and sandstone cliffs perfect for photographers.
Cyclists enjoy starting their rides in Encinitas, heading north and south along Coast Route 101, which is bicycle-friendly.
Encinitas attractions include the Yogananda Retreat, La Paloma Theater, Moonlight State Beach, NCTD Coaster Station (commuter train service to/from downtown San Diego), shopping and restaurants, annual "Woody" show and more.

Almost everything can be reached by foot, including the beach and most restaurants and shopping. Bikes can be rented as well.

Beach is the main entrance to the seemingly endless stretch of sandy beach is at C Street. A scenic outlook and stair access can also be found at the end of D Street. Swimming is allowed only in designated areas.
Surfing is a favorite activity in Encinitas. Swami's is one of the most famous in Southern California, which is accessed via steep stairs down the bluff from the small city park by the same name at the south end of town. Several surf shops along Coast Highway can provide gear for the visitor.
Beaches, flowers, peace and love welcome you to Encinitas. IBM, teeing off for golf and a Starbucks latte in a plastic cup might greet you, as well. Encinitas is a place where diversity rules and is celebrated daily. When the communities of Leucadia, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain and old and new Encinitas incorporated together as the City of Encinitas in 1986, their union on paper did not mean that each would give up its identity and character.
In stark contrast, prepare for a time warp with new plazas, tract housing and a bridge where carts from Encinitas Ranch Golf Course pass over the fast moving, stoplight-driven El Camino Real. From the opulent Self Realization Retreat and Hermitage where world travelers come to meditate and look out over the Pacific Ocean, to the neighborly Moonlight Beach, where lovers look out at the same ocean and snuggle, cheek to cheek, life is beach after beach in Encinitas.
So comes this city and get a great holiday. No tension about Encinitas hotel. InnAtMoonlightBeach.com will arrange everything with great Encinitas Bed Breakfast.
