Leucadia is a funky, eclectic beachtown in the northern part of Encinitas (while referred to as Leucadia, since it really does have a different feel about it than Encinitas, it IS part of the 92024 zip code). Leucadians are proud of this fun town with a strong surfing history and charm, and enjoy the laid-back beachy atmosphere the town projects. It is popular with vacationers as well.
The beaches, of course, are the main attraction (Grandview and Beacon's are favorites), but there are lots of shops (e.g., M'Aimer), small restaurants (my favorite is Le Papagayo), quirky hotels, surf shops, and a broad range of services. Don't expect to find glitzy boutiques and lots of designer fashions - the residents like the feel of their town - but don't be mislead...there is lots here to look at and to buy if that is your focus.
Leucadia also has a reputation as a bit of an art town with a diverse art culture, and this year will offer the Third Annual Art Walk along the Coast highway (Route 101) on Sunday August 26.
This art walk, along the west side of the coastal route, will offer a wide range of art to enjoy, including wearable art, as well as live entertainment, art demonstrations and dance performances. This popular event is sponsored by the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association. Visit their website for more information about this active group and the art walk.
