Known by the locals as "Beacon's," Leucadia State Beach, north of Encinitas, is an old-fashioned small, rocky beach that's only 11 acres in size. Leucadia's secluded location and unique reef formation make it a great area for surfing. Although it's mostly a local hang out, it's a perfect discovery for visitors looking to blend into the scene.
