McGills, located in the Leucadia Pizzeria parking lot on the corner of Encinitas and Coast Highway 101, may be the most popular skate shop in all of Encinitas. The staff and owner are absolutely obsessed with what is arguably the most prevalent sport in this community. The staff's knowledge of the sport and equipment is extremely impressive, and unlike other chain sporting goods stores, it is dedicated exclusively to skateboarding, so its selection is huge. It offers skateboards as well as longboards, accessories, clothing, footwear and safety gear. There are sales constantly, so it's a great place to come for selection and savings.
