This is one of my all-time favorite beaches! Came here this past weekend and had an excellent time.
The staircase is amazing!
Also saw some dolphins, didn't have to deal with huge crowds, and located in a great area near good food choices. Can't beat it! -

SURFER CENTRAL!
This beach is just amazing. It has a very private feeling to it, so it's very ideal for a relaxing tanning session. It's also fun to watch all the fit and attractive Californian men surf.
I love the giant wooden staircase you have to go down to get to the beach! -

This is the place for stair lovers who like a good climb with a great view. Be warned, the beach goes bye-bye during high tides - don't get stuck!

If you like to surf then this is your beach. If you like to get a sun tan and play in the sand then this is NOT your beach!
One of the best & most active surf spots in San Diego county. This hidden gem of a beach is fequented by the die hard surfers who live by the tidal clock.
This beach is in Leucadia tucked away on a residential street. Decent size parking lot and a grand stair case leads you down the steep cliff to the sliver of pebbles and sand that make up this beach.

I think the main break here (off the reef, just to the south of the stairs) Is very over-rated. It tends to break and then back off, giving you a slow, mushy ride until it hits the sandbar on the inside where it just dumps hard. Much better to surf the sandbars to the north or south of the main spot, which can get really good on summer south swells. Non-surfers can enjoy the beach, as it has a nice secluded feel, but watch out, as the water comes almost all the way up to the cliff on any High Tide higher than 5.something

This may not be the greatest surfing spot anymore, but it's still a great beach!

Great "locals" beach. Surf looks good at this spot. On a late saturday, it wasn't crowed at all. I dont know if I should even yelp this because of the "local" factor I noticed. Very quiant and serene beach tucked away in Leucadia. You have to catch the sunset!
