About Encinitas, California
Encinitas is a beach city in the North County area of San Diego County. It is approximately 25 miles north of downtown San Diego, and approximately 95 miles south of Los Angeles, with a population of over 62,000 residents. Perched right above the Pacific Ocean, to say, “Encinitas is a mecca for surfers” would be an understatement.
In 1669 while traveling through California to build presidios where the populous could attend religious services, the Governor of Baja California, Gaspar de Portola, stopped in what is now today the area of Encinitas. As he was passing through Encinitas, he named it Encina Canada, which in Spanish means, “Hills of live oaks.”
Unlike the majority of beach towns, Encinitas has left many of its historical buildings standing. When you drive through downtown, which fills the Highway 101 Corridor paralleling the beautiful beaches and ocean, you can easily imagine how the pioneers of surfing felt driving their woodies down the road. From the La Paloma Theatre built in 1927, to the mission-style Self Realization Fellowship Temple that dates back to 1916, much of the architecture in Encinitas retains a days old feel.
Recently named among the 20 best surf towns in the world by National Geographic, Encinitas wears its surf history proudly. Located along six miles of Pacific Ocean coastline, Encinitas is an unspoiled reminder of the historic Highway 101 beach culture that thrived in the mid-1900s.
Since 1982, the Encinitas 101 Main Street Association has helped keep downtown Encinitas economically viable yet historic & beachy. Downtown Encinitas is vibrant and full of thriving local salons, restaurants, shops, bars, and art galleries. Downtown Encinitas is home to Hansens Surf Shop – San Diego’s oldest and largest shop. It opened in 1961 and occupies over 20,00 square feet of retail space. Amtrak has a station in Downtown Encinitas which is also home to the Farmer’s Market. Source: Wikipedia
