Welcome to Encinitas
A bohemian, yet polished, beach community located 26 miles north of downtown San Diego. Take a cruise along Coast Highway 101 and enjoy all the restaurants, shops, and cafés this seaside community has to offer. Home of ever popular beaches, Moonlight and Swami’s, Encinitas is located along six miles of Pacific Ocean coastline. The city's eccentric downtown has long drawn in surfers and hippies alike with its unique and dynamic blend of surf shops, coffee shops and record stores. Encinitas is alternatively known as the "Flower Capital of the World," because of its extensive collection of unique nurseries and gardens, including the San Diego Botanic Garden and the world's leading grower of the Christmas flower, the poinsettia.
