Encinitas is the northernmost of San Diego County's premier coastal cities, a community of five distinct villages — Leucadia, Old Encinitas, New Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Olivenhain — that together offer an unusually diverse range of luxury lifestyle options under a single city address. Leucadia's blufftop streets and surf culture give way to Old Encinitas's charming walkable downtown, while Olivenhain — the inland village of the city — hosts large equestrian estates that rival Rancho Santa Fe in scale and privacy. The Encinitas coastline is celebrated by surfers worldwide: Swami's and Moonlight Beach draw serious wave riders, while the Self-Realization Fellowship Hermitage gardens above the coast provide a meditative counterpoint. San Diego Botanic Garden, also located in Encinitas, is one of the finest in the American Southwest and a genuine point of civic pride.
