INTRODUCTION TO SOLANA BEACH
Just north of Del Mar and south of Encinitas sits the lovely coastal community of Solana Beach. With a population of 13,000, it’s large enough to be a city, yet small enough to get that hometown feel. Solana Beach is a relaxed, upscale coastal community known or its beautiful beaches, vibrant art scene, independent shops and restaurants and a healthy lifestyle. It attracts families, professionals and retirees - there’s a place or everyone! Located in coastal North County, it’s about 25 minutes to downtown San Diego, which can be easily accessed via 1-5. There is a mix of ages, with the significant portion being between 35 to 65. Income is higher than the San Diego average and Solana Beach is considered to be an affluent community. The major appeal here is unparalleled access to the beach, surfing, sunset and the quintessential California lifestyle!

There's a Farmer's Market every Sunday on Cedros, Concerts in the Park during the summertime, art fairs and holiday celebrations - Santa Clause rides his sleigh through town and ends his journey at Fletcher Cove where he hands out candy. The City also puts up and decorates a Christmas Tree every year that stands in the center of Fletcher Cove Park - a great place to snap a holiday photo!
Lastly, the outdoor lifestyle affords so many activities such as surfing, swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, hiking (Annie's Trail), biking and walking along the coast from Solana Beach up to the tip of Cardiff State Beach!
