Food & Drink - Walkable from Condo
This is Michael’s favorite spot within walking distance of the condo. Great house beers, and sometimes a great selection of guest beers, along with some of the best street tacos in town!

Our kids (12 & 10) absolutely love this place for doughnuts. Grab a few, then walk down the pier, or take a nice stroll along the beach.

These options are all north county coastal stops, but require a drive (or a ride on the Coaster, which we recommend). Won’t find an easier option than the Coaster (make sure you check the northbound schedule to get back).
Locally World Famous Burgers! Michael’s favorite and most frequented watering hole. If you are a beer lover, this is a must stop….as Pliny the Elder is almost always on tap. Ask for Max. Tell him Michael Bell sent you!
Not a burger fan? Get the poke tower!

Herb and Sea is a great date spot. Menu is evolving, and you can’t go wrong with anything your choose.

You can’t think San Diego without thinking Pizza Port. This location is just steps away from the Solana Beach Coaster stop.
Grab a picnic table as soon as you walk in, and have someone else in your party stand in line to order. It can get busy….it’s a San Diego staple!
