Solana Beach Farmers Market

We stopped here prior to checking into our vacation rental. Really nice variety of vendors. We were able to stock up on fruit, vegetables, and other things for the week.

This is a 10/10 experience. The produce is top notch, the vendors have really cool wares and the food court and music are fantastic!

Check out the SoCaliCreations custom home decor! It's beautiful epoxy art perfect for all occasions. They have a booth with awesome art. Very quality, custome and elegant. Prices are great. 1st time seeing them there today. The owners are super friendly. Thanks for the great gifts for my family. I will be placing more orders real soon. River coasters, serving trays, Awesome Market!!!!

Not a large market, but a good one. Nice quantity of fresh produce. Other vendors selling artisan crafts or products. Probably about 4-5 food trucks. Live music.

We loved visiting this beautiful little farmers market in Solana Beach. There were a lot of fresh vegetables options. The food vendors were all delicious. We will definitely be back

Just love this place, best venders, best people, just a good vibe; different foods, fresh sea food stand to by fresh fish to take home to cook, clothes hats, you name it, I'm sure they got something for you🙌‼️

Love their fresh produce! Makes such a difference in home prepared meals when you have fresh locally grown produce. JR Organics is a vendor I especially love. Food is always very fresh! It's always crowded so make sure you get there early. Great food served as well such as tacos, Thai, Philly cheese steak sandwiches and smoothie bowls.

When we are in town we try to make this our Sunday routine. Great produce vendors, Roman pizzas and other vendors. Some days they have live music as well.

Cute little farmers market in the design district. Parking was easy to find and walking the whole farmers market was very quick. There was fresh produce, dips, baked goods and artisinal jewelry. Nice to take kids and pups followed by a walk down the street and back.

Great way to spend your Sunday! Amazing vendors and atmosphere Which I lived closer so I could visit every Sunday

Solana Beach farmers market is a passion project - a culmination of the crafted love of dedicated artisans. I have been to other farmers markets but this is in a league of its own. Top 5produce, friendly vendors great live music and delicious food court. Good work to everyone involved!

Was a fun farmer's market to visit. They had items that came from Orange County rather than South towards San Diego like the majority of the farmer's markets in San Diego County. Not the biggest Farmer's Market around but was nice to see different booths from other companies. They actually have fresh from the farm fruits and veggies. Would love to come back and visit Solana beach too!

Visiting solana beach we find this farmers market with great sellers, produce and yummy food. Our journey started with honey bees lavender lip balm $5 then we purchased a challah and a black olive bread which was amazingly delicious. Well worth the $16 for 3 yummy breads. We got a smoothie tropical paradise large size for $8 which was plenty for 2 people. Then we got hungry since it was lunch time so we took a chance on Sawa sushi and omg we are glad we did! Ordered the salmon skin roll, crunch roll and the calamari roll. All three for $24. Portion size was large and plenty for 2 people. Very fresh and made to order. Service and ambiance was great. It's the beach and you can smell the salt in the air. Too bad it's only on Sundays. It's not many vendors but I think as it gets warm there will be more vendors. I can't wait to go back and try new yummies.

Small farmers market organic produce was nice. Many food vendors - the hummus looks good! The Turkish towels are overpriced compared to online...

We had gone to another farmer's market about 10 min away and we were so disappointed at the variety of actual FARMER stuff, we left after about 5 min. I mean if it's a craft fair, just call it that. So, we decided to try Solana Beach Farmer's Market and hallelujah, they actually sell stuff from farms. The location is awesome. Cedros Ave has a lot of cute cafes and artsy shops to peruse before or after you patronize the market. The market itself has a perfect layout (one straight line, with the certified stuff marked in the middle) and a nice variety of vendors. We were able to get al the veggies we wanted, along with other yummy impulse purchases.

I really like a good Farmer's Market, and I have to say, I really loved this one. It was my first time visiting this market in the heart of Solana Beach in the Cedros Design District.. I was in the mood for what ever intrigued my interest and the first thing that was on my mind was to get some eats with shopping coming at the end of my visit. I checked out a number of vendors and artisans, so I can not remember them all, but the ones I do remember, are the ones that I ate at and purchased goods from. I really like that this market had a lot of good hot food vendors to choose from. There was Greek, Mexican, Neapolitan, French in the form of a crepery, Kettle Corn, Juice Bar, a bakery, and sometimes some fine BBQ. On this visit, I took on the Neapolitan and Juice bar for eats. I also visited a number of the artisan and produce vendors. At the end of my visit, I purchased some strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and a loaf a sprouted wheat bread. The Farmer's market offers an elongated set up, where you enter one of the ends, and leave the other end. All the hot foods are located in one area. I liked this set up because they also offer a lot of good shaded seating. I don't appreciate the markets that only have standing areas to eat. This is a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon and acquire some lunch or an early dinner while you are at it.

This farmer's market is not too far from the dog beach and is a good place to grab some fresh produce and bites after a romp in the sand. Be wary that dogs are not allowed in the farmers market for health reasons; As much as we wanted to bring the dog in we wanted to respect the rules, so one of us hung back and walked around Cedros Ave and took turns visiting the market. In contrast to the Del Mar FM, the SB one is a little bit more crowded and IMO, has less vendors. DM has around 7-8 food vendors while SB has around 4-5, I think. I enjoyed the Jamaican stand; The owner is ultra friendly and makes delicious patties (like empanadas). However, this is where I discovered my favorite vendor Chef Christophe, and am so thankful for that. He makes prime rib/tri-tip/sausage sandwiches that are SO delicious, as well as premade French family-sized meals that are between 20-25 bucks. He also does homemade pâte and other goodies. You HAVE to try the sausage sandwich with caramelized onions and Dijon mustard. It's $12 but is a hefty sandwich. I couldn't find a Yelp page for Chef Christophe which is why I sing his praises here.

Just recently discovered Solana Beach farmer's market and I'm so happy i did! This market is on a smaller scale compared to Hillcrest or Little Italy but still has tons of good and solid options. Solana market has a really nice cozy atmosphere with lots of seating area and shady palm trees everywhere. Really good food vendors like Thai cuisine, African, Italian, Mediterranean, fresh smoothies and of course pastries/desserts. So far my I've tried fresh young coconut, smoothies, savory crepe (!!!). I also saw that pizza was a popular choice, it looked really good with fresh arugula on top. Note to myself to try it next time. Bring your appetite, grocery bad, cash and enjoy the stroll on Cedors aven on the Sunday afternoon. Market hours are from 1-5pm

Smallest and most amazing market in all of North County. Features THE MOST TALENTED AND AMAZING 3rd generation Family Owned Certified Organic farm in all of SD - JR Organics. The owner and Master Farmer himself (Joe) attends this market weekly with his beautiful wife and family. All of his workers are gloved and harvesters are also gloved in the fields for safety during Covid. Also some amazing organic glass pour over coffee from a local couple who roasts their beans locally. It's a hidden gem.

Sooo many years not going to the Solana Beach farmer's market and this past Sunday I had the opportunity to enjoy the sunny weather and the many food options there. This is not your classic market, big and full of veggies, you get a little bit of everything but there are many stands where you can get cute gifts or you can eat. Definitively it is a very pleasant market and I liked to see for the first time the mobile pizza truck, with the oven and all, that was the first time I see that at a farmer's market and found it original and nice to watch the pizzaiolos crafting those awesome flat pizzas! Located at the heart of the Cedros Design District, is impossible not to stop by all those quaint boutiques and furniture stores, organic smoothie in hand, even if just to absorb good vibes to pack back.

We stop by whenever it is Sunday and we are in town. It is a relaxing walk along the street as we check out the local offerings of fresh fruit and veggies, little gifts and munchies. A nice way to spend a few minutes.

I have been going to Solana Farmers Market for years. Recent discovery are the Best Avocados Ever from Rancho De Los Suenos. Wow!! They have better flavor and don't spoil easily. Reminds me of how they use to taste & keep decades ago. The owner grew up learning the old-school trade from his father. His wife grafted each tree. This Grove is loved and the results are it's proof. Great Find! Great Quality!

Lots of great choices for eating and shopping, from decadent cheeses to handmade jewelry! The dining options are just as varied from gyros to gourmet tacos to Americana. The choices are endless!

Such a great farmers market on Sunday! There is such a variety of food to choose from and fresh fruit and vegetables from the locals. Everything my friends and I tried was delicious. Not to mention the strawberries - they may have some of the best I have ever eaten! There is nothing better than a Cali Farmer's Market :) Great experience, I can't wait to come back!

My local market is a local shoppers dream... if dreams were filled with fresh produce and local food vendors, with Red Oven pizza and gluten free crepes.... if dreams were filled with Carlsbad strawberries and crafty wares... if dreams were filled with the best banana pudding ever and kale... kale for days. Bring your reusable shopping bag, it's Solana Beach after all, and browse around. Bring cash of course! I feel like the farmers items to food to trinkets ratio is great. Everyone is represented but not too much. They have a couple solid flower vendors too. That's the way to a girls heart you know, fresh hummus and a bouquet of roses! It's not huge, parking is a pain, and its often quite busy but an absolute enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon from 1-5!

It's a small market and not excessively busy. There are some very nice local farmers and a nice food court. Good way to spend an hour or two on a Sunday afternoon

The Solana Beach Farmer's Market kicks butt so I expect to see all you Yelpers down there :o) I'd like to preface this "farmer market adventure" by asking you NOT TO EAT BEFORE ATTENDING. Why? Because you can get yummy eats there such as: Crepes (very tasty) Kettle corn Pizza Fresh cake...yes, they freaking have cake here...told you not to eat. Assorted chocolate...I ate some :O) it was good Gyros (OK, you and I both knew they'd be here, just saying) Assorted grilled meats After filling up you can begin checking out what's really going on here; this place has all sorts of amazing stuff, here are SOME highlights which include: Bitchin sauce...MMMMMMM BITCHIN! Amazing fruits and veggies Plants Homemade bar soaps ($2.50/bar and they smell great)! LOBSTER...yes, we got fresh lobster for dinner here! Patchouli oil...OK, this is more of a "warning" Farm fresh eggs Kitchen supplies Olive oil 'OF THE GODS' More importantly the vendors are all very sweet and the prices are low which makes this market extra special! I give this market 8 "great, now I'm kinda hungry for a gyro" out of 10

Very small but sell a lot of produce here. They have a cheese gal with wine cheese, brand new nut butter girls with fantastic nut butters. I like the dip guy, he sells this 3 something dip with sundried tomatoes, cheese and pesto that is killer. My guy had the jerk chix and bbq chix with this pickled tasting cabbage. Not a fan and it wasn't his favorite but he didn't hate it. $9. The man is very very nice so I wish I liked his food. I went to check out the smoothie girls who also make a fantastic acai bowl with banana, blueberries, strawberries, peanut butter layered in and drizzled on top also a dash of honey. YUM. 9$ for a small one but it is a lot of bowl. There is also a greek guy next to the smoothie place with fresh cut lamb off the grill, salad, rice and he also has falafel and chicken skewers His food looked fantastic. These are really the only places here, a taco stand and kettle corn are the only others available.

This is a very small farmer's market that opens on Sunday afternoons from 1-5pm. They have an additional lot where you can park for free if you can't find street parking. I tried a sample of some really good salsa and ice cream while I was browsing through the aisle! There were a lot of fresh veggies and flowers for a decent price, but not a lot of vendors selling food or any specialty items.

People in Solana Beach Farmer's Market are super nice! I love this place a lot. The open hour is right to me because I can go to church in the morning and go to this farmer's market in the afternoon. Anyways, the environment is fantastic. I mean it's near the beach. I can go to beach after here. This farmer's market is in a right place! However, they don't have oyster that I love to eat in UTC farmer's market and little italy!

This FM is small, though charming. It's great for grabbing lunch as there are several made-to-order food stands. There are also restrooms available indoors! While I LIKE the small and cozy feel, I can't give it 5 stars as it probably doesn't have everything a larger FM would. A very enjoyable way to spend your Sunday afternoon- note it's an afternoon market not a typical morning FM. Bring cash!

This is my first visit to a farmer's market in SD. This is a moderately sized market. There are about 20 - 25 vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers and delicious food. I noticed that not all produce was organic but most of it was locally grown. Highly recommend : Bonpastry - Their champagne cake is without doubt the best cake I have ever had! Baba food - They sell organic hummus in many different flavors . I loved the Avocado and Cilantro hummus which is supposedly their best seller too. At 5$ it was a steal! Na Pali Coast ice cream - I loved their coconut and chocolate flavors! They only sell them in pint sized jars though. Avocado - I don't recall the farm's name but their avocado was so good! I was very impressed with the quality of produce and food and will definitely be visiting again. A great way to spend couple of hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon!

My honey buys his honey here. There is a lady who sells honey here that really helps with pollen based allergies. We basically come here for that alone but there are so many cool vendors selling anything from local author's children's books to Proteas. There is also a guy who sells fresh fish. Mmmmm Ahi. It's every Sunday and parking can be tricky but Solana Beach's Farmer Market is worth the effort. If you happen to eat food from the Mexican food vendor here watch out for the hot sauce. YEEEEOW it's hot!!!

I came here yesterday and it was nice howerver it is not the big of a market. It is worth a try. I only bought strawberries from this very nice guy who is at the begging of the market he was selling three boxes for $11 so I bought three orders which came to $33 but he charged me $30 I thought that was very nice of him.

Firstly, let me start by saying that this was my first visit to Solana Beach! AMAZING!!!!!!! Loved it, until I had to find parking! LOL We walked along the market and found awesome stalls. I was craving ice cream after a great Indian meal, and found a vendor selling ice cream sandwiches. I have one word: SNICKERDOODLE!!! YUM YUM! But for $5 a sandwich, I found that this was quite pricy even though it was really great! We then walked on, we found some great organic produce. I have gone to a few Farmer's markets, and I have to say that this one is slightly more expensive. But that didn't take away from the great atmosphere and friendly vibe. We moved on and found an organic coffee stall. They had an offer on - 2 specialty coffees and then you get 2 macaroons for the price of one. $4 a coffee and $2 for two tiny macaroons. The macaroons were to die for. Try the pistachio and vanilla flavors. After stuffing my face with deliciousness, we moved along to Solo. A gorgeous bookshop and found some awesome Christmas decorations for our tree and a great book for the little one. Friendly vendors, great organic variety and a good vibe! All in all, a great day out. This was quite a pricy day out but fun nonetheless. Will we be back? MOST DEFINITELY!

I have had this Farmers Market bookmkarked for over a year. I finally stopped by to check it out. This is a smaller Farmers Market compared to other ones like Hillcrest and Little Italy. However it packs a lot of charm. There a vendors selling fresh fruits and veggies. Also local items like eggs, honey, meats and crafted goods like clothing and jewelry. A huge plus is that there is a small parking lot to park in. And street parking as well. A few foodies trucks to order a meal. Tables and chairs are set up in a courtyard like area so that you can sit and enjoy the atmosphere, food and live music. I ended up buying a few gifts for friends since I stopped here near Christmas. Plus it always feels good to be able to buy local and help support our businesses in the community.

Such a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon, roaming the 2-3 blocks. Produce was seasonal and decent quality, although $2.75 for organic fuji apples is a tad steep in my book. Other offerings for this January week included Satsuma clementines (about $4 per bag), navel oranges, blood oranges (both about $2/ lb), and some rather wilted beets, dark leafy greens, I did enjoy the non-produce items, though: - Fresh bouquets (or ready-to-dry) for about $3 to $8 per bundle - TONS of free samples! The hummus vendor is very generous, in particular, and we relished the exotic pumpkin hummus, beet hummus, and vegan curry dip, as well as the more traditional garlic hummus, regular, baba ghanoush, etc. - Carne asada stand - with asada burritos, 'dillas, you name it... - French bakery with homemade macaroons, yum - A few artisan cheese stands (from as far as Sonoma...that's not local to SD, right?) - Smoothies stand - Vegan mex stand (yay homemade vegan tamales for $3!) - Local honey and medjool dates, $6.50/ lb Thankfully, this market was fairly light on the overpriced handmade goods and jewelry. There are few stands that seem like they'd appeal to the general clientele that roams the Cedros Designer block, but not really my taste.

Not a huge farmers market, but it seems to have a little of everything! Usually farmers markets have hundreds of the same: fresh produce and sauces. My girlfriend and I went to mostly just look and check it out, but we ended up spending $80 and talked to a lot of interesting vendors. Everyone was super nice and gave out samples and spent the time to talk to us. It's a really nice farmers market and I would definitely encourage you to check it out at least once! The thing is that because this one is so small, if the same vendors come back every week, there's no point of going again unless you always buy fresh produce or need a refill of something (like local honey)

There's a nursery rhyme about the days of the week. "Mon-day wash day. Tues-day, ire-ning..." So I added "Sun-day, mar-ket.." San Diego Farmers Market Association shows a neighborhood market happening every day of the week. Bounty!! After stopping at Hillcrest on Sunday morning, I headed to Solano Beach for Sunday afternoon. A food court begins at Noon with offerings from French crepe makers, juice makers, and Bbq, among others. The vendors circle a small plaza with communal, umbrellaed tables available for enjoying your purchase. From 1 to 4 PM, organic farmers and a few crafts people - jewelry is very popular - set their produce and products out for sale. The prices were higher than at Hillcrest, but not crazily so. Parking is easy along Hwy 1. Cross the pedestrian bridge over the tracks. The foot bridge is paved with beads of red glass imbedded in the path. If you're lucky a big Amtrak train will pass underneath as you go.

My wife and I had a stroll through this farmer's market last Sunday.The weather was pretty mild and overcast so it was a bit quiet when we were there around 2pm. There was a good variety of products represented from fresh bread to colorful dresses.My wife bought some pork tamales from a friendly Mexican lady...I know she will enjoy them! The market runs every Sunday from midday til 4pm on the sidewalk in S Cedros Ave and parking is pretty easy to find nearby. It's always worth a visit!

Great little market for gifts and produce close to the beach. Be sure to stop by the Japanese knife stand for great prices on hand crafted chefs knives. Also enjoy the atmosphere, food and friendly vendors every time I go there.

Less produce selection than Leucadia, but great quality and enough variety to fill the fridge for a week. Jamaican Jerk Hut makes a great low-carb lunch deal, try the oxtail. Might want to take it home -- 'No Dogs' signs everywhere, but you're likely to see a furry head nosing your plate anyway.

This is a great farmers market, and one I regularly attend since it is close to home. Many of the vendors create vegan specialties that are top notch. Love the fact it is open until 5 PM Saturday as it is a great last stop after a busy day, and parking is easier on Cedros later. There is even a restroom available in the main building, which is a great convenience.

I love this Farmer's Market. It feels like Europe. The vendors are super nice and they really have an awesome selection of produce. I love the time of day. I think all markets should be afternoon - so relaxing and fun just to stroll by the booths on a warm Sunday afternoon:-0 They have a new food vendor, Red Oven - Artisanal Pizza you have to try. Check out their YELP reviews and you'll know why!

I like this farmers market because there is such a great variety on things to try. Besides the produce, there are good places to eat. May favorite places are the chocolate bar place, vegan, made in home kitchen and the Yogurt place, Bonjour Yogurt. Both really good! It's only a block from the ocean so a short walk over. The Solana Beach Coaster station is just a block or two away, so its easy to come by train.

Love this Market, close to the beach and other shopping. Bonus -Right across the street from the Coaster station - don't have to worry with coastal traffic or parking. Local Vendors are super nice and have some unique healthy treats: Vegan Chocolates, Consumable Collagen Powder, Gluten Free Bars & the best local Honey and aged Vinegars. Check it out!

how have i never actually walked through here?!!? sure i've seen the tents set up as i go to breakfast in the area or go to carruth or culture...but never actually walked through the farmer's market. it's a small market (not huge like hillcrest)...but it has all the essentials you need...fruit, veggies, salsa's, spread's, cheeses and cool stuff made by local artists. So glad i had a tour here (with Chef Jason!). http://www.yelp.com/biz/cook-with-jason-solana-beach couldn't buy anything today since i wouldn't be home for hours...but sampled a ton (check out the mushroom jerkey!)... i'll be back

This was one of my favorite farmers market. There were a variety of different very good food products and organic fruits and vegetables. Loved this place! The only bad thing was parking was very hard to find.

4 stars for the clearly marked organic section (although nowadays who knows what standards are followed). All I know is it tastes good, and "real." 1 extra star for the clean, indoor bathroom. That's right ladies, no portable potty like 99% of the farmers markets. This one has is located in the building halfway through the market, and trust me, it makes a difference in my books. What I like: 1. Red Oven pizza -- fresh, flavorful, hand-make dough. Try the "Alsatian" and check out their reviews. 2. Bouchee bakery -- Bernadette and Eric are super sweet, and the booth is probably the most beautiful booth I have seen at a farmer's market! Order a cake from them for special occasions (weddings, birthdays) and you will not be disappointed! 3. Honey! Tastes like "real" honey (yes with pollen unlike the sugar/honey from stores) My favorite was avocado honey, you can taste all of them to find your fav. 4. Tea Gallery (there every other week). Great choices for both caffeinated and herbal teas! 5. Flowers and more flowers. Walk down to compare pricing 6. Occasional musicians--this one group that played guitar "jason maraz" style was awesome! Note: no dogs allowed. This is the opposite of Sunset Market (Oceanside) where there are TONS of dogs, from 2 pounds to 200 pounds (not kidding)!

What a difference a couple years make. The last time I was here in 2011 it was just another typical small farmers market. But last week I came here it was quite bustling and they had so many more "quality" vendors this time around. In fact, I thought it was just as good as the bigger hyped ones like Hillcrest & Little Italy. Hillcrest I didn't care for at all it was blah & big nothing special and the vendors there seem to think they're doing you a favor by showing up. And just because they're the "biggest" they think they can price gorge the newbies. It was the 1st time I did not buy a single thing at a FM. Little Italy is just a dirty mess, the sidewalks are so crowded and filthy you have to watch where you're going or you'll bump into someone or some dog I swear I was transported to TJ or something. I wouldn't go there again if it was the only FM in town. Solana Beach is nice & cozy cause it was all in one line so you won't get lost and they have all the cool vendors as the other big ones selling organic meats, pastries, fruits, vegs, eggs, etc they got it. This one Solana Beach on Sunday, Vista, Del Mar on Sat afternoon are my top 3 fav's. Oceanside sunset market & Carlsbad Village are alright if I missed the other 2 on the weekend. Although I read the Leucadia/Encinitas have also grown up to epic proportions so that maybe my new #1 once I make the time to go there.

As far as bang for my buck, I think this is my favorite farmer's market. I know a lot of the vendors are the same ones that show up earlier in the day at Hillcrest, but they seem to lower their prices when they make the trek north. Probably because they want to make sure to lighten their load before they pack up for the day. Smaller than Hillcrest and maybe even Little Italy, they concentrate on more of the produce (i.e. less crafts, artwork, etc.) which is more of what I care about anyway. Hillcrest is a better market to go to if you're planning on having a meal. There are less prepared food options here. This one is better if you want to do some serious shopping. Tip: Walk through all the way to the end before you spend the extra two dollars per pound on those heirloom tomatoes - those guys near the front entrance think they can charge more because you have no other frame of reference.

Love this Farmers Market and I try to go every Sunday...not too much junk-just flowers,fruits,veggies and great food stands for lunch...which is what a Farmers Market should be...not a flea market! Also I like the Saturday afternoon one in Del Mar because they have amazing fresh seafood and a few other things that Solana Beach one does not....both have great flowers which is the main thing buy every week.SB also has incredible roasted chiles in one booth that are great with eggs or in enchilladas...oh and also you have to try his hot chili jelly which is great on cream cheese with crackers. Love the soul food stand for lunch too!!

I love farmer's markets, especially on beautiful sunny Sunday afternoons :) God. so much fruit! I couldn't choose. Thank god they give out samples everywhere so I can pick out which orange is the best. I also recognized some of the stands as the ones who come to UCSD every Tuesday and they totally do not give out as many samples at UCSD as they do at Solana Beach. I'm assuming this is because college students are generally cheap and will horde the samples and not buy anything - something I'm guilty of. But yeah, the Baba hummus is amazing! They have such awesome pita bread and the pesto hummus mmmmmmmm! People are friendly, animals are cute, samples are awesome and freshly grown organic produce always pwns the crap at Von's. Parking wasn't as bad as I thought it would be either. One thing I do miss from my farmer's markets at home are more baked goods! Donde esta the fresh scones and muffins? All I saw was bread =/ Oh yeah, and fresh honey sticks and honeycombs.. do they not do that in San Diego or this because of the decrease in bee population cuz I miss my fresh honey on apples.

Very cool farmer's market in the Cedros Design District/Solana Beach neighborhood! Several food stands serving offerings ranging from gyros to pizza make regular Sunday appearances. If you keep walking down the sidewalk, you'll see vendors lined up in their individual tents selling different kinds of wares, fruits, candles- you name it! Overall, a very pleasant atmosphere and a great way to spend some time in beautiful Solana Beach on a mellow Sunday afternoon.
