California's 77th State Assembly district is one of 80 California State Assembly districts. It is currently represented by Democrat Tasha Boerner of Encinitas. The district encompasses much of the San Diego County coastline, stretching from Carlsbad in the north to Coronado and Downtown San Diego in the south.

District profile The district runs along the San Diego County coast from Carlsbad south through Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Del Mar, and continues through the coastal neighborhoods of the city of San Diego, including La Jolla, University City, Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, Point Loma, and Downtown San Diego, as well as the city of Coronado.

The current district boundaries were drawn by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2021, following the 2020 Census, and first took effect for the 2022 elections. The redistricting substantially redrew the 77th district, shifting it from an inland district centered on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and Poway to a coastal district running from Carlsbad to Downtown San Diego. The previous inland territory was largely redistricted into the new 76th district.
