Interesting exhibitions, creative talks and feedings and best of all the extensive seahorses on display! Just a short 30 minute drive from Encinitas, it’s worth the trip!

This place is the perfect spot to cosy up in a nook with a good book, hot coffee and watch the world go by. This prominent old, bright yellow building along Highway 101 in Encinitas serves up a incredible coffee and their cakes are to die for. The building itself used to be the old Encinitas train station (relocated to its current position) and is worth a visit any day of the week!

Encinitas and Leucadia are brimming with small and unique businesses. Mozy your way along the 101 and you’ll stumble across boutiques, surf shops, art shop and much more.
