This tour will take guests through 4 unique communities in North San Diego County; Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff By-The-Sea, and Encinitas. This tour is unique because we will be able to cover nearly 15 miles in 2.5 hours on capable and easy-to-use electric bike. All of our bikes have different levels of pedal assist, as well as different options for using a throttle.
We have bikes suitable for riders 5'0" and taller, but we also have options for children! We have two (2) Rad Power Radwagon cargo bikes which have seats for up to two children. Additionally, we have child seats for children up to 45 pounds that can be installed on our electric bikes.
Our tour guides have extensive knowledge of the North County area about local cuisine, beer and wine options, artisans, art galleries, local surf spots, and so much more. If you have something that you are dying to see, do, or learn about in the area, please ask us!
Please note that much of the riding will be on street or in bike lanes
Afternoon tour starts at 2pm: This is a group tour where you'll get to ride and meet other travelers!
Morning tour starts at 10am: This is a private tour so only you and your group will be with the guide.
We will stop at the beautiful and historical meditation gardens founded in 1938 but Paramahansa Yogananda. We will be able to walk through the gardens if desired!
Edit; due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are unable to go into the gardens but will resume our walks through the gardens as soon as possible. In the meantime we will stop at the border of this property to enjoy the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.
The Del Mar Racetrack has been the central hub of Del Mar since it's inception by Bing Crosby in 1936. The fairgrounds have hosted the Del Mar Fair (aka San Diego County Fair), thoroughbred horse races, and for two years during WWII the Del Mar Racetrack was closed to use the space to construct parts for B-17 Bombers.
VG Donuts is an iconic donut shop/bakery that has been owned and operated by the same family since 1969 (three generations!). We can stop in and grab a fresh donut if desired. Also nearby are the classic Pipes Cafe, as well as Besta-Wan Pizza (Encinitas' oldest still existing restaurant!)
This lagoon is one of San Diego’s largest wetland at 979-acres. This ecological reserve is primarily a shallow-water estuary, formed where the Escondido and La Orilla Creeks meet the Pacific Ocean. I love showing guests this portion of the tour at the lowest or highest tides, as they can come back 6 hours later to see how different the reserve looks with the tidal differences.
Fletcher Cover Park is a local's secret for basketball, beach access, and a playground for kids. There is also a lifeguard station here and a ramp for easy access to the water. Public restrooms and showers here make this a perfect spot for a family beach day. Around Christmas time they also put up a beautiful Christmas Tree with ornaments for everyone to see and enjoy.
Moonlight State Beach is a huge attraction for families. With firepits, volleyball courts, plenty of sand, and a concession stand for snacks, there is something for EVERYONE. We will take you right past it so you know where to go cool off after the tour with a dip in the ocean.
The Encinitas Boat Houses are an iconic funky spot in Encinitas. These Boat Houses have never felt the salt of the sea, but you would never guess when looking at them! Constructed from an old bathhouse and hotel, these homes are rented out for a premium. While we cannot enter the houses currently, there are talks of turning them into a museum/historical landmark open for tours in the future.
We are located at 101 Highway 101 in Solana Beach 92075. You will see our signage for "San Diego Electric Bike" as we (Cal Coast Adventures Solana Beach) have just purchased this new shop. Come on into the shop and we will get started!
You are welcome to stay paperless and just tell us the name of your lead traveller when you get here and then show us your confirmation.
