Information, map, directions, and photos of Beacon's Beach, or Leucadia
State Beach, in Encinitas, CA.

On the maps, it's “Leucadia State Beach,” but ask the locals, and they will just say, “It’s always been Beacon’s Beach. Even the sign at the top of the bluff reads Beacon’s."

Swimming, surfing, fishing and picnicking are popular at this small, rocky beach. There's a reef off Beacons, which makes the beach a good surf spot.

Beacon's Beach access is via an improved trail at the foot of Leucadia Blvd, but brace yourself for the walk down, not to mention back up. Locals like to walk their dogs on the sand at Beacon's Beach. The beach is very secluded and can be the starting point of a nice hike up or down the coast during low tide.
