A Day in Solana Beach

Let’s discuss some of the activities that you can do during your visit.

The Solana Beach Farmer’s Market is a great place to start, but that’s only if you’re in Solana Beach on Sundays between noon and 5 pm. It’s here that you can find a slew of goodies ranging from pastries and bread to sauce and vegetables.
