Free things to do with kids in Solana Beach
Fletcher Cove Beach Park
A shaded play structure with swings at the top of the ramp, and the beach right at the bottom of it.
La Colonia Park Tot Lot
A renovated tot lot with open grass beside it.
Annie's Canyon Trail - North Rios Trailhead
A real narrow slot canyon, then a climb to a lagoon overlook. Best with older kids (it's a squeeze).
Solana Beach Library
Books to browse and a toddler storytime. A calm hour when the day needs one.
Tide Beach Park and Table Tops
At low tide the reef opens up and kids can look for sea creatures in the pools.
