The old-fashioned, tree-lined community of Leucadia is one of the most prominent neighborhoods of the city of Encinitas. Known for its charming but often older homes, unique art galleries, specialty boutiques, and fun restaurants, the primarily single-family home community is located directly on the shores of the Pacific.

Encinitas Beach Country Park and Seaside Gardens Park, begin on Leucadia's pristine beaches and stretch through all of Encinitas. Leucadia State Beach, known more commonly as "Beacon's," is a protected Californian beach and is run by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. A popular place for fishing, surfing, and other fun beach activities, the protected beach has been kept clean and usable for residents to use and enjoy on a daily basis.

The stunning Batiquitos Lagoon just north of Leucadia is a wonderful place to exercise, jog, or simply sit and marvel at the wonders of nature. Aviara Golf Course and La Costa Country Club are just across the lagoon from Leucadia while Encinitas Ranch Golf Course forms the community’s eastern border.

Orpheus Park, James MacPherson Park and Quail Park Botanical Garden are also popular recreational hotspots for Leucadia residents and visitors alike.
