What Season Is Best in Solana Beach, CA?

Based on the tourism reports, the best time to visit Solana Beach, California, for warm-weather activities is from early June to mid-October. The area is more temperate than most, making the year-long temperature quite enjoyable, but its warmest months are August and September. With low chances of precipitation all year round, but especially in the summer months, this is your best opportunity to enjoy warm weather and outdoor activities.

Late fall through winter is easily the best time to find great deals. From October through February, fewer tourists visit Solana Beach due to the weather. With the exception of the holidays, this would be your best time for bargains. Due to the moderate temperature, most outdoor activities are still an option for visits during colder weather. Local hiking trails, farmers markets, and beaches don't close in the winter months. With the proper gear and determination, you can still enjoy water sports among the waves, or you can choose to enjoy the beauty of the ocean from the sandy shoreline.

Which Hotels Offer the Best Discounts in Solana Beach, CA?

If you're a AAA member, you can expect up to 5% off at Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Del Mar/Solana Beach. Located right off the Historic Pacific Coast Highway, this Courtyard Marriott boasts a central location near a variety of attractions including the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Belly Up Tavern in the Cedros Avenue Design District, the world-famous Del Mar Racetrack, and Fletcher Cove Beach & Family Park. While at the hotel, you can enjoy amenities including an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a spa tub. In the mornings, breakfast and Starbucks coffee are served at The Bistro, and in the evening, you can relax by the outdoor fireplace over handcrafted cocktails, local craft brews, and seasonal dinner options.

At the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla, active and retired military personnel and their families can experience exclusive savings. From the time you check in at 4 p.m. until you check out, you will enjoy great amenities. All rooms are spacious suites featuring a private bedroom and bathroom as well as a separate living area with a sleeper sofa, a refrigerator, a microwave, a wet bar, and a large dining area. The suites are equipped with two televisions, wireless high-speed internet access, and a coffee maker with the appropriate supplies. Furthermore, all rates include a complimentary buffet and cooked-to-order breakfast each morning and a two-hour evening reception for all guests featuring alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. During your stay, you will earn the use of the newly renovated fitness room featuring Precor equipment with individual TV screens, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor sundeck, and a whirlpool spa. One of the best aspects of this hotel is that it has won multiple awards for its green initiatives.

Where Can You Find the Best Value Hotels in Solana Beach, CA?

Due to its location, The Holiday Inn Express Solana Beach - Del Mar hotel provides convenient access to the laid back town of Solana Beach, as well as the bustle of San Diego's attractions. For a great price, you're sandwiched between the well-known Cedros Avenue and the coast. Make yourself at home in an air-conditioned room featuring a private balcony, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a flat-screen television with cable programming. Utilize the free breakfast, fitness facilities, and outdoor pool while on-site, but be sure to venture out to North Seascape Surf Park, Del Mar Racetrack, SeaWorld San Diego, or the San Diego Zoo.

What Are Some of the Best Coastal Spots in Solana Beach, CA?

If you're looking to explore the ocean during your stay, head over to Tide Beach Park for an unforgettable experience. The park is known for its large reef, or “Table Tops,” and the beautiful tide pools located at the park's northern border. It is a wonderful location for a curious child or for snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming.

Fletcher Cove is conveniently located near the train station and has ample public parking opportunities, yet it ironically lacks the crowd that some of the more southern beaches attract. The dramatic bluffs that flank the sandy beach area make for an idyllic location to take a stroll. Climb the stairs that line the coast to explore the caves carved into the cliffs by the pounding surf.

If you're looking to do some surfing, head to the northern tip of Solana Beach. Seaside is an excellent surf spot located at Cardiff State Beach. If you need to rent some gear, or if you need some surf lessons to get started, look no further than Progressive Surf Academy.

Come be a local in the charming seaside community of Solana Beach, California. With the town's 1.7 miles of gorgeous coastline for swimming and surfing, you are sure to spend a majority of your days here either in the ocean or adoring it. This city is truly a favorite destination for those looking to enjoy the beach, eclectic shops, great dining, golfing, nightlife, and nearby hiking. Don't miss out on your opportunity to visit this vibrant community.
