So, why do they call it “Funky Leucadia?”
Funky Leucadia, as it’s lovingly referred to by the locals, is an eclectic mix of old and new. Holistic & hedonistic. It’s a story of opposites attracting in an artsy little corner of Encinitas proper. One-of-a-kind boutiques mingle with funky restaurants and cafes and the ever present surf shops, while holistic spas dot Highway 101.
Guarded by towering bluffs, Leucadia’s beaches are only accessible by way of two stairways and one trail that scrambles down a crumbling sandstone hill. At high tide the beach completely disappears. Walking is impossible as the water reclaims every bit of sand… All of that aside, the beaches are sunny and welcoming, once you’ve arrived at your destination! As you travel along Highway 101, towering eucalyptus trees shade the street and the Amtrack & Coaster trains rumble along just yards away. Home to multi-million dollar beachfront estates, run-down bungalows, and everything in between, Leucadia is a testament to the free-spirited & varied lifestyles of North County.
