• Boathouses (726 & 732 3rd Street) on October 12th are dedicated with an
historical bronze plaque provided by the local chapter of the E Clampus Vitus
organization. Working with Encinitas Preservation Association (EPA) and
Encinitas Historical Society (EHS) and with aid from the City of Encinitas, these
iconic boats will now be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
• “Boutique Luxury Hotel” begins construction on the 4.3-acre property on the
northern bluff in Leucadia. Forty-five thousand cubic yards of sand was
relocated to the beach below. The planned 226,000-square-foot building
complex will boast 130 rooms (including 16 suites) and currently has an
estimated cost of $110 million. Owners envision guests walking around in
swimsuits, shorts and flip-flops, keeping with the Leucadia beach “vibe.”
Marketing materials describe the hotel as “barefoot luxury.”
• Population is 63,184.
