The City of Encinitas was founded over 100 years ago and is now made up of five communities that take pride in their own distinct personalities. Located just east of Interstate 5 and 25 miles north of Downtown San Diego, Encinitas is home to approximately 58,000 residents. With six miles of rugged coastline and 21.5 square miles of land, Encinitas is a north San Diego County city situated between the San Elijo Lagoon to the south and the Batiquitos Lagoon to the north. "Historic Encinitas" fills the Highway 101 Corridor that parallels the beautiful beaches and ocean.

"New Encinitas" centers on El Camino Real ("The Kings Highway" founded by the early missionaries from Spain). Beaches, flowers, peace and love welcome you to Encinitas. IBM, teeing off for golf and a Starbucks latte in a plastic cup might greet you, as well.  Encinitas is a place where diversity rules and is celebrated daily.
