North County Coastal

The string of beach cities lining the Pacific coast north of the San Diego city limits, from Del Mar through Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, and up to Oceanside near Camp Pendleton. The I-5 corridor and the COASTER commuter rail connect these communities to downtown San Diego in 30-50 minutes. Known for world-class surfing, flower fields, boutique downtowns, and some of the county's highest home prices, North County Coastal draws families, professionals, and military personnel from nearby Camp Pendleton and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.
