Solromar is a small unincorporated community in Ventura County, California, United States. Located on the Malibu coast, the community lies amid some of the most striking and diverse coastal terrain in Ventura County.[2](p91) This is the only residential community on the south coast of Ventura County and therefore was the only community along the Malibu coast that was not included within the City of Malibu when Malibu incorporated as a city in Los Angeles County. Although the city limits could not cross over the westerly county boundary into Ventura County, the community's address uses the name and zip code of Malibu. Soloromar had a post office from 1944 to 1956.[3]
Just upcoast from Leo Carillo State Park, the community lies on a narrow coastal terrace along Pacific Coast Highway. County Line Beach Park lies in-between portions of the residential areas on the ocean side of the highway. A popular surf spot mentioned by the Beach Boys in their 1963 hit song "Surfin' USA", the beach is also popular for scuba diving and freediving with easy access, abundant kelp forest, and reefs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has found a 0.9-foot per year (0.27 m) erosion rate for the shoreline with major erosion occurring during the winter months.[4]
California native garden and a monarch butterfly waystation were constructed as part of the MariSol subdivision.[5] Sewer service in the area is provided by individual septic tank systems.[2](p111)
