Located in San Diego's North County coastal region, discover Fletcher Cove, with dramatic bluffs that flank the sandy beach area—an idyllic location to take a stroll and explore the caves carved into the cliffs by the pounding surf. To access this secluded set of beaches, look for the staircases that line the coastline. At the northern tip of Solana Beach is Seaside, a good surf spot with an outer reef called Table Tops that breaks on big southwest swells. Tide Beach has best sand of the bunch and a patch of reef that offers tide pooling. Fletcher Cove (also known as Pillbox), is located where Lomas Santa Fe Road meets the Pacific. The beach can be accessed through a concrete ramp that begins at Fletcher Cove Park, a popular recreational park with a playground and grassy area. Seascape Beach and Del Mar Shores on the north side of the San Dieguito river mouth, are two spots frequented by local residents.
