Stone Steps Beach in Encinitas - Leucadia Mercantile

A California shop and journal. 

Leucadia

Leucadia is a neighborhood on the old Highway 101, just north of San Diego. Independent restaurants, local shops, artists, surfers.

The name comes from the Greek — leukos, meaning bright or white — chosen by English settlers in the 1880s who gave the streets names like Vulcan, Neptune, and Olympus. Leucadia translates loosely as a place of refuge.
