Solana Beach: Sunny, Uncrowded Beaches only 20 Miles from San Diego!
And optimistic. Access to the sand in this upscale, four-mile town was literally cut from its jagged coastline long ago, by city engineers who realized that the only thing missing from this Eden was a way to actually get folks to the
beach.
It's also only 20 miles from downtown San Diego and San Diego County's local commuter train, the Coaster, costs only $5 for a ticket to downtown San Diego, the Zoo, Sea World and the harbor. Visitors can enjoy
San Diego beaches
during the day and return to watch the sunset along Solana's cliffs at night. The city is bordered on its south by
Del Mar
and its famous
race track,
so surf-and-turf fans have literally a five-minute drive to see thoroughbred racing. The city also has its share of great
restaurants
and
Solana Beach hotels,
but other than its beaches, it hasn't strained to invent itself as a tourist draw.
GETTING THERE The city is about 20 miles north of San Diego, along U.S. Interstate 5. By air it is accessible via San Diego International Airport, or by rail via the Coaster or Amtrak.
No public camping is available at they city's beaches.
