Savor the authentic flavor of California!
Solana Beach is a charming beachfront town located on the north coast of San Diego County, just 30 minutes from the city of San Diego with 1.7 miles of coastline.
As its name indicates, it’s is a sunny place with average temperatures of 77-degrees F. in summer and 62 in winter. Solana Beach has kept its special ambience of Hollywood’s golden years, when it was a favorite destination for film stars.
