A destination for
the finer things in life, Fallbrook is a quaint and scenic art
community located in San Diego’s North County. Fallbrook is accessed
off of Interstate 15 between Temecula and Escondido, and off of
Highway 76 that runs from Oceanside to Lake Henshaw, and is just a
thirty minute drive inland from the Pacific Ocean. Sitting at an
elevation of 685 feet, the Fallbrook region has a mild year-round
climate that boasts an annual rainfall of 16", an average
temperature 61°F and an average high temperature of 76°F. Its
temperate climate, rainfall, and fertile soil, make it the perfect
place to garden and home to farms, nurseries, vineyards, and fruit,
nut and a number of avocado orchards, agriculture is a part of
Fallbrook’s history and economic foundation.
A blossoming art
community, murals and sculptures are displayed throughout the
"Village" and throughout other parts of town. Fallbrook’s historic
downtown district features a number of fine art galleries such as
the co-op Brandon Gallery, the Pinnell Gallery or the Fallbrook Fine
Art Gallery. The Art Center hosts exhibits every month, including
the well-known Wildlife Art Show, the National Art Gourd Show and
the Galaxy of Glass show. The Artworks of Fallbrook, a bronze
foundry, lets visitors see the entire bronzing process, and The
Fallbrook School of Art has working studios where classes and
workshops are held throughout the year. Just a short drive out of
town to Palomares House, run by the Land Conservancy, there is a
sculpture garden that depicts the flora and fauna of the region.
Early rural
California/Fallbrook living is preserved and displayed in the
Fallbrook Historical Society Museum and the Pittenger House, a
turn-of-the-century farmhouse that is furnished with period pieces,
vintage cars and farm implements. In the main Museum you can see
historic Fallbrook in miniature, complete with a working model
train.
There are a
plethora off restaurants to frequent offering a taste of everything
from light snacks and baked goods, to Mediterranean fare; soda
fountain specialties to French and event Irish cuisine. Fallbrook is
also home to The Fallbrook Winery, one of the leaders in
California’s emerging South Coast region. Specialty shopping is a
must during your visit. There are trendy boutiques, home décor
shops, gift shops, books stores, jewelry shops and more. The
downtown district also has free parking on Main Street, and in the
parking lot behind the Art Center, off of Alvarado Street.
Entertainment includes live concerts, theatre productions, art shows
and exhibits, and the nearby casinos in Pala and Valley Center.
The natural beauty
of Fallbrook makes it an ideal place for hiking, riding and birding.
Home to the Santa Margarita River, the last free-flowing river in
Southern California, it is one of the most scenic spots in
California. Hiking areas include panoramic views of Palomar
Mountain, lookouts over the Santa Margarita Valley, vistas of the
Pacific Ocean, peaceful meadows lined with sycamores, willows and
oaks, and bird-rich wetlands habitats--all protected and maintained
by the Land Conservancy. There is also tennis and golf to be enjoyed
at the resorts, like Pala Mesa, which has an award-winning 18-hole,
par 72 course.

approximately 43,000 residents, Fallbrook is adjacent to Bonsall and
