Leucadia State Beach (Beacon's)

First time visiting this beach, and I went on a Saturday around 3 PM—it was absolutely beautiful. It goes without saying how stunning and magnificent it is; it’s truly beyond words. The beach seems to go on endlessly—I walked for what felt like miles without even realizing it. It’s absolutely fantastic and just keeps going, which makes it even more special. The water was warm, and the atmosphere was amazing. There were so many beautiful people out jogging, walking, surfing, and just enjoying the day. It’s unlike any other beach I’ve visited. I highly recommend this beach for anyone who wants a relaxing walk, a comfortable jog, or simply to feel at peace by the ocean. This is a must-visit, especially for those who love walking or jogging along the beach.

May 2025 Update: The parking lot has been upgraded, plants and seating. The path has been fixed up and looks great I posted some pix from my visit ======== I had not been here since a few weeks but when I visited today (Aug 22) it looked fantastic. The path is hugely improved making it much easier and saver trail for everyone. Even at the bottom of the path are now sturdy steps instead of these huge pebbles that were always a hassle to walk over. Very nice! Great spot to chill on the beach or start a beach walk. Going in south direction will get you furthest. Going up north you need to have low tide to make it to Grandview with just your feet wet. Check the tide schedule. Trust me on this. I learned the hard way. Limited (free) parking currently. Limited street parking available. Expect to park closer to the 101

The Leucadia State Beach is a great place to be. It is ideally for surfing, swimming and jogging. It has parking slots available and easy to access. The beaches are endless, very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately not accessible for elderly or handicapped people. Therefore only 4 stars.

I’ve dubbed this place my beach paradise. One of my favorite beaches in the world. The quintessential laidback so cal vibe. I grew up here and this stretch of coast is a magical place for surfers, families or nature lovers. Be aware at hide tide there may not be any sand. Access may not be available for mobility impaired. As always please respect the beach and the locals.

The best part of the Pacific Ocean in this area. Come to watch surfers ride the waves, scale craggy cliffs, get breathtaking views of the ocean at sunrise or sunset, and on Thursdays, be ready for an incredible celebration in the parking lot around sunset-time. This area teaches us to value every day and celebrate life! The ocean and her mystery go on being beautiful whether we notice or not; let's slow down to take time to catch at least one or two visits of the sun sinking to the horizon's edge, the ever changing sky and clouds, and luminiscent water at Beacons. Friendly to four-legged and two-legged beings of all ages. This place absolutely rocks in its beauty and energy!
