Located along six miles of Pacific coastline in northern San Diego County, Encinitas has an approximate population
of 60,000 and is characterized by coastal beaches, cliffs, flat-topped coastal areas, steep mesa bluffs
and rolling hills. Encinitas was incorporated in 1986, drawing together the communities of New Encinitas, Old Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain and Leucadia.
There is a significant flower growing industry in the City and many people claim that Encinitas is the Flower Growing Capital. As the City has developed, it has grown up around the pre-existing flower growers.
Downtown 101 is a coastal shopping district over 100 years old featuring historic architecture, quaint shops, sidewalk cafes, and restaurants framed by beautiful flower baskets.
The beaches in Encinitas are outstanding. There are many stretches of beach that lie between Cardiff-by-the-Sea and La Costa. The surfing is unbeatable and many surf contests are held throughout the year in Encinitas. The San Elijo Lagoon Reserve is the largest coastal wetland in San Diego County and is home to nearly 300 different bird species throughout the year.
The coolest thing about Encinitas isn't the beach itself, but the pervasive beach culture. A child of the '60s
that grew up to become a real estate gold mine, Encinitas offers the best of both worlds: the refined
tastes and civic responsibility that come with prosperity and the energy and vitality that come
from free-spirited ideals and attitudes. The historic La Paloma Theatre and adjacent Martini Ranch often
host surf movies and live surf bands, respectively. Whether you're interested in yoga, acupuncture
or stronger potions like coffee, you'll find plenty of choices in town. There are three primary
beach zones in Encinitas, each with its own unique character and appeal.
