Solana Beach is a beautiful, upscale community that lies between the Pacific Ocean and exclusive Rancho Santa Fe. Just north of Del Mar, Solana Beach enjoys the perfect climate and excellent beaches of its neighbor. The Belly Up Tavern is a San Diego nightlife tradition. The northern part of Solana Beach is almost entirely occupied by the San Elijo Lagoon County Park & Ecological Reserve. A new Amtrak station recently opened in the city.
