Two miles of pristine coastline offer the upscale community's 14,000 residents and its many visitors well
supervised beaches for sunning, swimming and surfing. Ocean front parks make for a fun outing on the beach. Up the hill from the beach is the exclusive Lomas Santa Fe Country Club boasting a spectacular 18 hole private golf course while the Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course is open to the public. Located at the edge of Solana Beach and adjacent to Rancho Santa Fe, the hiking and horse riding trails in San Dieguito Park promise a scenic adventure. In the city named for the sun, summer never ends. The sun shines all year long keeping the city's average temperature an almost-perfect 69 degrees. |

 South entrance to new linear trail in Solana Beach |
For adventures in shopping and dining, the
Cedros Design District
won't disappoint with its offering of quaint stores,
cafes, art galleries and of course, the infamous
BellyUp Tavern where
occasionally, a famous celebrity will break in a new set of songs. The best South
of the Border cuisine can be tasted at Eden Garden's
"Old Town," a must for
Mexican food lovers and an old favorite with locals in the "Ranch", Del Mar and
Solana Beach. Theatergoers can catch a performance at the
North Coast Repertory Theater,
a resident live theater company. The annual
Fiesta del Sol, or "Holiday of
the Sun" is held in June and is a celebration complete with arts and crafts,
games, surf contests, music, food and a parade. Solana Beach is now the home to both Amtrak and an express rail service called the Coaster, which runs from Oceanside to downtown San Diego, making Solana Beach even easier to visit. | |

The second phase was the actual lowering of the train tracks - - - about 30 feet below Lomas Santa Fe Dr. During this period, the train traveled through Solana Beach over a set of temporary tracks (known in construction circles as "shoo fly tracks"). Work on the new Lomas Santa Fe overpass is finished. |

Now that this part of the project is completed, the newly designed system allows for better traffic flow and a more accessible
Design District.
Recently completed is the the third and final phase of this project. This included the development of a new 1.8 mile
"linear park." The park follows the length of the train track
from the edge of the San Elijo Lagoon
south to Via de la Valle in Del Mar. In addition, there are pedestrian
bridges along the railroad corridor and improvements to the existing station including elevators,
stairways and reconstruction of Highway 101. Consisting of a bike and pedestrian path as well as great landscaping,
the park adds beauty and friendliness to Solana Beach.
Additionally, plans have been approved for a privately constructed $26 millions project which will consist of a public plaza with shops and restaurants,
140 rental lofts and office space and may be the future home of the North Coast Repertory Theatre. Also, there will be an underground parking garage with 500 slots for transit users. The garage will cost $13 million and will be owned by the North County Transit District.
