San Elijo Lagoon is one of few remaining coastal wetlands of San Diego County and home to an exceptional number of animals and plants. It lies along the coast between the cities of Solana Beach and Encinitas of San Diego County, extending inland to Rancho Santa Fe. The lagoon is part of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, a county and state regional park of nearly 1,000 acres of diverse habitat including six plant communties: coastal strand, salt marsh, brackish/freshwater marsh, riparian scrub, coastal sage scrub and mixed chaparral. In the reserve you can access over seven miles of trails via eight trailheads and encounter a wide variety of flora and fauna.
San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy (SELC) is a nonprofit land trust working to preserve, protect, and enhance San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve and its watershed. We depend upon the financial support of individuals and foundations in order to provide educational materials, maintain the health of the lagoon and acquire additional acreage.
