Solana Beach

…I’ll have the lobster, dude

Solana Beach is a study in contrasts. Affluent professionals love the art boutiques and golf courses; bleach-haired beach bums dig the mom-and-pop diners and surf shops.

A mere thirty-minute drive north of San Diego, off the Coastal Rail Trail, Solana Beach lies nestled in the bluffs overlooking the Pacific. The 1.7-miles of coastline offers aggressive surfing spots (the locals are partial to Fletcher Cove) and breathtaking sunsets.

With access to historic Highway 101, Interstate 5, Lomas Santa Fe Drive and Amtrak, Solana Beach is mellow, convenient and everything you imagine when you think of a So-Cal beach town. You’ll find board-shorts and suits, modernist mansions and sand-covered cottages, fine dining establishments and beach-front cafes, golf courses and hiking trails, secluded beaches and vibrant nightlife—they’re contradictions that just work.
