    Love this beach location. The hill can be steep if you're bringing a wagon. Lots of space if you're willing to walk a little bit. Outdoor shower and foot sprayers available as well as public restrooms, basketball court, viewing area on the top, and a playground.

    Loved this beach and park! I love that it has a little playground and big grassy area with views of the beach! My little one had lots of paved walking space to push her little stroller around and when it was time for lunch we had a nice picnic in the grass followed by some time on the playground. We ended our afternoon with a walk down on the beach to soak in the views some more. It's so beautiful over here and we will definitely return.

    Long time due review, but I could not pass this time after coincidentally seeing this park and beach as the scenario of a beautiful proposal last Sunday! Perfect park with vistas to the ocean, perfect decor all whimsical and childish in a way, perfect beach...ideal SoCal dream. Even parking around is easy. Peaceful beach, well taken care playground, bathrooms. Nothing to not like!

    Fletcher Cove Park is a pretty cool beach destination. Over and above beach access, it's got a playground and basketball courts. The beach is flanked by some pretty nice cliffs, and lifeguards patrol here, so there's some degree of safety if you decide to go into the ocean. The lifeguards keep a weather eye on things from the cliff top, and communicate with people on the beach via a loudspeaker system. On the down side, while there are bathrooms here they could use an update, and aren't as clean as they should be. Tip: Dogs are not allowed on the beach here, though there's a dog beach a few miles away.

    I've been in San Diego for over a decade and only just discovered this Fletcher Cove Beach Park. It's not crowded, but very pretty and clean.

    Really nice park. Playground, basketball court, and restrooms. Nice beach area below. Nice observation perch above. Does have lifeguards.

    I keep a list of meditative places and beautiful outdoor places. Fletcher Cove Park is on the list. A few items of note: The park has a beautiful grass park overlooking the ocean. The path to the ocean is a on a grade. Not good for those trying to reach the beach who have with mobility issues or who may rely on assistive devices. You will commonly find groups of people enjoying the grassy area. It's great for picnics, small parties or lounge time with your pet. There are restrooms, basketball courts and are picnic tables as well -- with several tables closer to the bluff overlooking the ocean. All are without shade, however. There is a small parking lot that fills up very quickly. But there is free street parking on the streets surrounding the park. Just be attentive to posted signage, especially in the neighborhoods. I love community spaces like this, especially like this where you can bring the family, the pups and a packed meal along with a book if you are so inclined and spend the entire afternoon watching, relaxing, meditating or in a slumber.

    Playground on the beach

    I love this beach! I came here a few years back, and it was a fun time! Couldn't wait to take my daughter to this beach playground! Parking is a little tough, they have a very small parking lot, if you're lucky you can snag a spot! I believe street parking is available too!

    I absolutely live this spot. I've been coming here for years. It's a fantastic location with sunrise and sunset so just gorgeous and they have a brand new Playground now.

    What a fun beach! First time in Solana Beach and had a great time even though the sun was hiding. Perfect temperatures and great tall ocean waves. Can't wait to come back and spend more time!

    Love coming to the beach right by this park. There's a lifeguard station here and not so busy. It's nice that there's plenty of parking near by as well as some food options a short walk away.

    Pretty boring. There are much better beaches in San Diego. Come here for less of a crowd but no fun and no close walking distance food.

In SD county, I feel like Solana Beach is often overlooked with La Jolla and Coronado getting most of the glory. Don't get me wrong, those are AMAZING destinations. But having lived here for a while, and not being a fun of massive crowds (ie. fighting for parking and space to stretch out on the sand), I've begun enjoying alternative spots. After a delightful brunch in Solana Beach, we began to walk. What came next was unexpected - we turned down a mostly residential road and arrived at the Cherry Hill Beach lookout. The view was stunning -- I won't forget the image for a long time. The skies were perfectly blue and the water was INSANELY clear. Interestingly enough, it was low-tide which created a unique experience of having an abundance of sand to walk on. It's such a visceral, magical experience that I'll abstain from describing it in words and let the pictures do the talking. Highly recommend checking it out when you're in the area.

We drove up from Downtown San Diego to check out Solana Beach at sunset and heard Cherry Hill Beach was a local gem, a bit hidden too. Shoot we even almost missed the small path down to the beach after parking in the cul-de-sac. But we spotted the path and walked down to the staircase leading to the beach. There were maybe 8-10 people total, half of them surfers out on the water, so we had plenty of open space to sit down, take pictures, deep our fit in the water. Sunset was super pretty. We stayed til about 9pm then hopped in the car to drive back along the coast. A great night in San Diego.

Everyone was just enjoying the beautiful weather, some having a picnic, others sunbathing, some reading. There were also plenty of people on the beach but not crowded. Lots of surfers and just everybody getting their dose of the best medicine in the world: sunshine, nature and water!! Many flowers already in bloom, so saw fields of purples and yellows and it made my heart sing! Also lots of birds here, little ones and big ones too. The gulls are very beautiful and totally not afraid of humans. Parking I could see could be a disaster here but I did find easy free 2 hour parking on the street. There are also lots and metered parking available too. I didnt get in the water today but Im preparing and when it gets just a tad bit warmer, I am definitely headed into the ocean! I loved coming here today and you probably find me here a lot moving forward!

But when you rent (or buy) a place at Seascape Sur, you would have not only one but two car spaces underground. The entire property is gated and secured, just the way I like. Not only is Seascape Sur gorgeous as you walk around the lush property, but they have multiple pools and jacuzzies to relax in. Having different pools in different areas ensures that they are never too packed, and allows you to enjoy the water...in case you don't want to walk down the steps at the edge of the property to the Solana Beach...an exhausting 2 minute walk by foot. There is a businesses center directly across the street, so you can literally walk door to door within 5 minutes for Yoga, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You are also just a short drive to several nearby beaches to relax or check out good waves for surfing. You can't help yourself feeling relaxed and blessed because of the vibe the Solana beach air brings you. If you always stayed at the Hotel, check out Airbnb or Vrbo at Seascape Sur. With a unit here, you can cook whatever you like...who knows we may very well end up sleeping on the same bed and eating with the same utensils!...at different times of course... Happy Summer!

I hope that Californians will step up their game and work with their government and locals to bring back their beaches and appreciate what tourists bring into their communities and local businesses.

If you're looking for a great way to see the stunning North San Diego coast, this is it. From start to finish, the experience was a perfect 10/10. When we arrived, Joe was warm and welcoming, making check-in and the e-bike operation intro a breeze. Our guide, Arnie, was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable about the local history and pointed out fun and beautiful spots along the way, making the trip informative and engaging. He made sure we were comfortable and safe the entire time. The route was breathtaking! We cruised along the scenic coastal rail trail and enjoyed panoramic ocean views and stops that even we, as San Diego locals, had yet to experience. The bike's electric assist made the hills feel effortless, allowing us to focus entirely on enjoying the scenery. It was the perfect afternoon activity for tourists and locals alike. Exploring at a relaxed pace made for great memories and plenty of photo opportunities. Definitely worth the price! I highly recommend Ride Solana Beach to everyone! Whether you're a local or a tourist, this e-bike tour is a must-do. We can't wait to come back and try one of their other tours and rentals!
