Most people have heard of Oceanside, La Jolla, and countless other California coastal towns but many have not heard of the hidden gem Solana Beach. Less than 20 minutes from the convenient and quick San Diego Airport this town feels world’s away. Here’s the 3V recommended hidden city and why Cal Coast Adventures is the perfect way to explore this sun-filled paradise:

Cycle the day away: We were honored at the invite from Cal Coast Adventures to experience the coasts best places on a private electric bike tour. This FULLY PRIVATE VIP (they even include water!) venture costs just $95 per person and is fully customizable to meet the needs of your group. The bikes themselves have throttles so you can truly cruise the coast either as a rental or tour. Cal Coast Solana Beach also offers surf lessons and e-bike rentals allowing you to plan your ideal SoCal day however you see fit. On our tour, we enjoyed seeing vistas of the Pacific Ocean, learning more about the history of the Solana area and it’s growth as a true gem. This great company has other locations as well, so be sure to check them out!

Eat like a king: Of all the many great restaurants in Solana Beach, you can’t go wrong stopping on Cedros Avenue, where our private tour spent the majority of our time. This well awarded, beautifully historic yet modern street has well designed eateries, outdoor cafes, wineries and more!

This gem of a city is absolutely worth the stop for fantastic vistas, fun ventures and incredible values. Check out VisitSolanaBeach.com to learn more!
