Solana Beach is a gorgeous coastal enclave and its popularity extends beyond its beaches and cliffs. Situated on the coast between Del Mar and Cardiff, its appeal goes beyond offering a nice ocean view and a great surf spot. As the cultural center of coastal North County, Solana Beach offers many opportunities to engage your artistic side, whether you are looking to redecorate your home or to spend an evening enjoying live music. Solana Beach also has an Amtrak/Coaster stop for easy commuting and travel near and far.

The Cedros Avenue Design District has more than 80 shops, design studios and art galleries. It’s home to builders, architects & importers. Also located on Cedros is The  Belly-Up Tavern, a nationally-acclaimed live music venue, which features local and national acts. Recent performances included the Rolling Stones, Kevin Costner and Jimmy Buffet.

Solana Beach offers its residents many upscale dining and entertainment options. After shopping or relaxing on the beach, take a quick stroll up the street to enjoy fresh sushi, a local craft beer or some gelato. If you are looking for a sophisticated and casual beach community, Solana Beach is a perfect fit.
