Pros: A very nice gentleman at the ticket desk at Solana Beach told us which café to go to get WiFi as the station has not WiFi. Cons: There was no WiFi at Solana Station (WiFi is so useful when like in my case, we are using telephones from abroad and needed to call a taxi or to contact someone). Tips: If you have luggage, make sure you’re in the wagon that takes suitcases.
