"I love that my kids grew up surfing and swimming, and are beautifully connected to the ocean. There's nothing better than being a couple of blocks from the Pacific. We get to call some of the nicest beaches in California our 'backyard!'"
​​​​​​​"Because of its geography, Solana Beach has remained a little haven for residents who know about the town, and appreciate it. It is also a great city because everyone is so friendly."
"A slow-paced beach town, Solana Beach is full of athletes, entrepreneurs, and craftsmen. With craft coffee shops, organic cafes, and microbreweries, the dining experience is nothing less than excellent."
"Solana Beach is a quaint community where everybody knows your name. People are friendly and inclusive - we all support eachother."
"We have everything we could need right at our fingertips here. Our favorite stores, great restaurants, and a fun nightlife. We also love the easy access to the freeway, and that our town cannot get any bigger. We've lived here for 28 years, and raised our two kids here. 'Blessed' doesn't even begin to describe it!"
