A notable landmark is Fletcher Cove Park, offering stunning ocean views and recreational opportunities. The city also boasts the Solana Beach Heritage Museum, providing insights into the area’s rich past. 

In terms of mental health, approximately 13.8% of Solana Beach residents report experiencing mental health challenges, slightly below the county average.
