Goodwill

Thrift store

Goodwill is a thrift store in Encinitas, CA. You’ll find it at 1520 Encinitas Blvd, Encinitas, CA 92024. It’s one of 2 secondhand and resale shops we track in Encinitas.

The store keeps hours seven days a week, including Sunday, staying open as late as 7 PM on its longest days. Thrift hours change seasonally and around holidays, so a quick call before a long drive is worth it.

As a thrift store, its inventory is donated and priced for fast turnover: stock changes daily, sizes and styles are unpredictable, and the best finds go to shoppers who come back often rather than those who come once. Purchases and donations here support Goodwill’s charitable programs; our Goodwill guide covers its donation rules and discount days.

6 more secondhand shops are within driving distance, listed below, so it can anchor a longer thrifting circuit.

Before you go

  • Ask at the register which tag color is on sale this week and which is newest — the sale racks are cheap, the newest racks are where fresh donations land.
  • Check garments under good light for stains and test every zipper; most thrift sales are final.
  • Bring a tape measure and your key measurements — sizes vary wildly across eras and brands.
  • Sunday hours are on file (10 AM – 5 PM), so it fits a weekend circuit.
  • Donating? Use the donation door during posted hours and ask for a receipt — see our Goodwill guide for what this chain accepts.

Donating at Goodwill

Most locations accept clothing, shoes, books and media, housewares, small working electronics, and small furniture at drive-up donation doors during posted hours. Most regions do not take mattresses, cribs and car seats, CRT televisions, chemicals, or large appliances.
