Solana Beach
Home to a number of outdoor activities by land and by sea
Solana Beach was recently voted Southern California’s Friendliest Beach Town. Golden beaches and bluffs, welcoming parks and some of the most renowned arts and music venues in the region attract visitors of all ages to Solana Beach. Families can spend the day exploring waterfront parks and tidepools; while a stroll through town, with stops at a local craft brewery or urban winery and a performance by your favorite band, can wrap up a romantic evening or friends’ night out.
