What To Expect
Self Realization Fellowship Hermitage & Meditation Gardens
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.
Del Mar Racing
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.

5.00We did the local guided e-bike tour as our department's annual team-building event on a Wednesday afternoon. There were 6 of us and our guide, Brendon (not sure if that is spelled correctly). The bikes were in great condition, and the location, parking, etc., was very easy. Everything was on time and ready to go for us. Since many in our group had never been to any of the beaches in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, or Encinitas, it was a great way for them to see everything. It was a beautiful sunny day, and everyone had a great time. Our group's age range is between 30 and 61. The bikes allowed you to pedal if you wanted, but also had throttle assist so you didn't need to pedal if you didn't want to. We had one person in our group with a knee limitation, so she didn't pedal and she still had a great time.
A Perfect Way to Explore Solana Beach Area!

He was also incredibly patient and made the ride relaxed and enjoyable. It was an absolutely beautiful way to get to know the Solana Beach area—highly recommended!

5.00Super easy to reserve and check-in. Had a friendly and knowledgable guide in Lee Ann, who adapted the tour to our preferences. The bikes worked well and had good kick with the "rev" feature throttle, though the seats were a little hard. Didn't hurt that it was a spectacularly beautiful day!
Excellent tour - would recommend!

Justin was an excellent guide, he made us feel safe and secure on the E-bikes and was great at communicating the road changes etc. He was full of information and the ride was beautiful! We really enjoyed learning about the coastal communities and the whole experience, including some great stopping points. Really good value and would do again :)

5.00This 2.5 hour tour showed us many highlights of San Diego’s northern coastal communities from Del Mar to Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Cardiff by the Sea. We learned great historical background and had a blast on the bikes, which can be operated with varying levels of pedal assist right up to full electric operation. Justin was an excellent tour guide. We would recommend Justin and Cal Coast to anyone.
Fabulous ride!!
