Leucadia, south of Carlsbad, was once an agricultural community where farmers grew tomatoes, flowers, and ornamental plants. Today, although some farming continues, Leucadia is an interesting contrast of casual hippies, luxury beach homes perched above the beach, and a strip of businesses, surf shops, taco eateries, and restaurants along South Coast Highway 101. Leucadia has excellent surfing, swimming, and fishing.
Leucadia is located off I-5. Take the Leucadia Boulevard or La Costa Avenue exits and head west. Parking is available along residential streets west of 101 or in small lots off Neptune Ave.
