Cafecito with a Cop

Community Outreach is a top priority for the North Coastal Sheriff's Station. Come and meet with our bilingual Peace Officers, ask them questions and discuss any concerns you might have while enjoying complimentary coffee and pan dulce on Tuesday, January 17^th from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, at the La Colonia Community Center. The Sheriff’s Department regularly hosts “Coffee with the Community” to give the public a chance to chat in a casual setting over a free cup of coffee. No speeches, no agenda, just casual conversation. 

Another Round of Dangerous High Surf

Another round of dangerous high surf will be taking place this Friday through Sunday. When the peak swell arrives in the later part of the morning on Friday, it could produce waves running up to 15 feet with some standout locations seeing waves of up to 20 feet. Lifeguards recommend that only expert surfers enter the ocean during these conditions. Please know your limits! Beach walking during these high surf events is also not recommended as it can be very dangerous, even during low tide. When in doubt, talk to a lifeguard about beach and water safety.

Sandbags Available to City Residents

With the forecast indicating heavy rain again beginning tomorrow, January 13^th, and lasting through the weekend, the City has once again made sandbags available to City residents. The prefilled sandbags are available in the Solana Beach City Hall parking lot at 635 South Highway 101. Since there are a limited number of sandbags available, the City is asking that residents take no more than 7 sandbags. Please prepare accordingly as the rain may be heavy and the winds will be strong at times. 

Report an Issue with the City’s My Community App

The City has many different digital platforms intended to help residents stay connected and engaged. The Solana Beach My Community App is a cloud-based mobile platform that allows residents and visitors to report location-specific concerns such as potholes, graffiti, or other matters of concern directly from their smartphone or tablet. Issues reported through the My Community App will be assigned to appropriate City Staff based on the specific complaint type, and residents and visitors will be able to follow up on the progress of the corrective action. The City of Solana Beach My Community App is available in the iTunes Store (iPhone) and Google Play Store (Android) for download.
