The beach and Coast Highway 101 is the heart of life in Leucadia, with glorious golden sands and streets lined with great restaurants adjacent to it. Leucadia’s beachfront is one of the more relaxed shores in the region, and the area has the inviting feel of being a hidden coastal gem. There is also an artistic and creative flair to the community, with galleries and street art easily found in the blocks leading up to the beachfront.
In late August, the annual Leucadia Art Walk showcases talented local artists and musicians at venues along Highway 101. Highlights of the Art Walk include live mural painting, a children’s art pavilion, six venues hosting live music, and a craft beer garden.

Along with fresh produce, the 75 vendors that comprise the market offer a variety of gourmet foodstuffs, plants and flowers, and handicrafts from local artisans.
