Beacon’s Beach in Encinitas is technically “South Leucadia State Beach” because it is the southern beach access of this state park but this state-owned and city-run beach has been called Beacon’s for years. The beach here is tucked below the bluff where homes and condos are densely packed. A narrow trail with three switchbacks descends the bluff face. Beacons Beach has a small parking lot on Neptune Avenue between Jasper Street and West Leucadia Boulevard a couple blocks west of Highway 101 in the Encinitas neighborhood of Leucadia. This lot is often full and getting a parking spot near the beach access is usually a problem. Surfers and sunbathers are the main users, but if you just need to take off your shoes and walk on a beach this one is great. Just be aware that during high tides the beaches in this area are very narrow or all wet.
