Encinitas is more than just a community in California with six miles of beach. This San Diego community has been dubbed America’s premier Surf City and Flower Capital of America. As you may have guessed, Encinitas lies on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. What you may not know is that the beaches of Encinitas are nestled between the Elijo Lagoon to the south and the Batiquitos Lagoon to the north.

In 1986, the city of Encinitas was incorporated and at that time, five communities were included in the city. Each of these communities offers their own unique personality including Historic Encinitas, New Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain, and Leucadia.
