The bridge over the train tracks has a staircase leading to Cedros Design District. This isn't any more than 1/2 mile walk up from Pacific Coast Highway and Del Mar's Dog Beach. The walk/bike trail starts under the Solana Beach and Rail Trail archways. This walk all by itself is worth taking, just for the walk. The Design District is only maybe a couple of blocks long and ends at the Village on Cedros mall (where the farmer's market is found on weekends). Two of the big warehouse-style indoor vendor booths are SOLO and Lotus (across the street from each other). For us, it's all about the creative public art we get to enjoy along both the Rail Trail path and along the Cedros Design District walk.

I have perused the Aaron Chang Gallery many times over the years, and this past Christmas, I decided to purchase some of his art for our home as a family gift. His work captures amazing moments of natural beauty that fit so well with our Southern California decor. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, even if you are just there to enjoy the beautiful images instead of purchasing them. Mr. Chang also worked with my daughter’s second grade class for a unique and inspiring art project, so I was happy to finally bring home some of his magic.
