City of Solana Beach

Solana Beach, CA

Lesa Heebner

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Solana Beach, located along the northern coast of San Diego County, is known for its beautiful beaches, parks, prime surf spots, and abundant walking and hiking trails. There is sunshine almost every day and winters are just a few degrees cooler than summers. Fog and low clouds usually hug the coastline in the summertime in the late evening and the wee hours of the morning but burns off by midday. Mayor Lesa Heebner has committed to saving the monarch butterfly and other pollinators by signing this Mayors’ Monarch Pledge and looks forward to engaging residents to build more pollinator habitat throughout the city.
