The house sits in Leucadia, the quieter, more surf-shop-and-fish-taco end of Encinitas. Stonesteps Beach is four minutes on foot. Pannikin Coffee, two. The Sunday Leucadia Farmers Market is a six-minute walk from the front door.
Downtown Encinitas is a short e-bike ride south. Cardiff, Solana Beach, and Del Mar are all under fifteen minutes by car. Legoland, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and Disneyland are easy day trips for the kids.
A quiet local beach with a steep set of steps down to the sand. Lower-key than Moonlight; perfect for morning swims and sunsets.
An Encinitas institution housed in a converted 1888 train station. Pastries, breakfast, and a front porch that's a town gathering spot.
Sunday mornings from 10 to 2. Local produce, prepared foods, flowers, and a vibe that makes Sunday feel like Sunday should.
The main Encinitas beach. Wide sand, lifeguards, volleyball nets, and a playground at the top of the bluff. Concessions and bathrooms.
Time your visit to low tide for a slow walk through the tidepools. Sea anemones, hermit crabs, the occasional octopus. Bring water shoes.
A short, family-friendly hike through a narrow slot canyon. The kids love it. Best in the morning before it gets hot.
Summer racing meet from mid-July through Labor Day. Even if you don't bet, the people-watching and the bay views are worth the visit.
The closest theme park, designed for ages 2-12. Plan a full day, arrive early, and check the calendar for park hours.
Marine animal experiences and rides. A classic San Diego day. Get tickets in advance for the best price.
An open-range African plain with rhinos, giraffes, lions. Different experience from the main zoo — quieter, more space.
One of the best zoos in the country, in beautiful Balboa Park. Wear good walking shoes and bring sunscreen.
Doable as a day trip if you're willing to leave early and stay late. Two parks, plus Downtown Disney. Plan ahead.
The open floor plan of the kitchen, dining and living area is just so dope! Open up the glass door wall and feel the flow from the front door to the back yard. Loved being in Leucadia to grab the sunsets with the neighbors.Todd · Stayed December 2023
Wake up four minutes from the sand. Walk to coffee, the farmers market, and downtown.
