Encinitas station is a commuter rail station in Encinitas, California, that is on the NCTD COASTER commuter rail line. In addition to COASTER, it is also served by three BREEZE bus routes.

On October 7, 2013, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner began stopping at four COASTER stations: Carlsbad Village, Carlsbad Poinsettia, Encinitas, and Sorrento Valley.[6] Amtrak dropped service to Carlsbad Poinsettia and Encinitas on October 9, 2017, due to low ridership.[7]
