The community of Fallbrook consists of 36,000 acres and is located south of Riverside County and east of Camp Pendleton. Its neighboring communities are Bonsall to the south, Pala to the east and Rainbow to the northeast. Most of the area is characterized by rolling hills covered in avocado and citrus orchards. However, as the topography changes, it creates natural buffers that separate Fallbrook from its neighbors.
