2018 Map of Encinitas

About this map

Encinitas and its neighboring coastal communities are defined by a dense residential grid punctuated by significant ecological features. The modern landscape is oriented around the Pacific Ocean coastline, with the north-south corridor of I-5 serving as the primary transportation artery through Leucadia and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. A notable geographical pattern is the preservation of large coastal water bodies, such as Batiquitos Lagoon and San Elijo Lagoon, which interrupt the urban expansion and provide natural boundaries between the different townships.
