Swimming, surfing, fishing and picnicking are popular at this small, rocky beach. The beach access is via an improved trail at the foot of Leucadia Boulevard.

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.

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 largest single industry is the growing of ornamental flowers, particularly poinsettias.

Encinitas can be divided into five areas:

Old Encinitas, a small beachside area featuring a mix of businesses and housing styles.
New Encinitas a newer region which features a golf course, larger tract homes and a shopping center.
Olivenhain, a semi-rural region in eastern Encinitas with mostly single family homes and has an active 4-H Club.
Leucadia, which has an older tree lined area featuring art galleries, unique stores and restaurants along with single family homes.
Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Encinitas' southernmost oceanfront community, which features single family homes and a community college.
