Seaside community just 10 miles north of San Diego
Bird Rock is a laid-back seaside community just north of San Diego, where locals wake up to the sound of crashing waves and end the day with sunset bike rides. “The name Bird Rock, like a lot of the names in San Diego, gives insight into its location and history,” Dusty Brazil says. The longtime San Diego resident and Realtor with Compass explains, “It refers to a large rock protruding out in the surf here where, for years, locals would watch pelicans and seagulls roosting.” Although the ‘bird rock’ ultimately collapsed in 2010 after ages of crashing waves, the community still draws birds and boarders to what’s considered one of San Diego’s premier surf spots. “The topography here is so unique; it’s not just flat sand - it’s rocky, so you have barnacles and ridges and rocky beaches,” Brazil adds. “And even though you do have new modern mansions overlooking the water, Bird Rock still has a lot of the charming cottages that have been here for decades, so it still feels like a small town.”
