Solana Beach’s Scenic Coast - Spanning Tide Pools and Surf Breaks


Bharat Lall engages as president and CEO of Pinnacle Hotels USA and oversees a portfolio of quality-focused hospitality properties that extends from Texas to California. Among Bharat Lall’s premier San Diego-area properties is the Courtyard by Marriott Solana Beach, which has recently been renovated and is situated in a picturesque beach town known for the Del Mar Racetrack and Cedros Avenue Design District.

For many visitors, the five Pacific Coast beaches that span the community are the prime attraction. Perfect for jogging, surfing, and whale watching, they include the northernmost spot, Seaside, which draws surfers seeking big southwest swells that form waves off Table Tops, an outer reef.

Family-friendly Fletcher Cove is accessible via Lomas Santa Fe Road and offers a playground and a grassy area that is often used for barbecues and picnics. Tide Beach just to the north has exceptional sand and allows for tide pool excursions in exposed reefs during low tide. Local favorites include Seascape Beach and Del Mar Shores, which are situated at the mouth of the San Dieguito River. One thing to be aware of is that only Fletcher Cove has dedicated restroom and shower facilities.
