Six Fun Things Every Del Mar Visitor Must Do

By Terry Hunefeld


Del Mar is a stylish beach community in north county San Diego, California. Those of us who live here regard San Diego as "paradise." The ocean-side beach towns along the coast north of San Diego - what we who live here call "North County" - is even more heavenly.


Our "paradise" here in north San Diego consists of several lovely, quaint beach towns: Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Del Mar and Encinitas are each drenched in the cooling breezes of the ocean while being showered with sunshine. Our communities have fascinating hotels, inns and resorts, extraordinary restaurants and dazzling beaches.

Del Mar has a very long record of Hollywood celebrities visiting because of the horse track that Bing Crosby and Jimmy Durante founded in 1936. Their star power made the Del Mar Race Track one of the most gorgeous and esteemed tracks in the world of racing. The horse track brought a steady steam of Hollywood types to the hotels in Del Mar. As a result, numerous Del Mar resorts and inns were founded and thrived.

Del Mar Ca hotels, inns and lodging accommodations are breathtaking, but pricey. One of the most exquisite Del Mar hotels is along the shores of the ocean - it's The Grand Del Mar, an awesome San Diego resort that, as they say, "Celebrates the connection we all have with stillness, comfort and relaxation."

Rated among the best five-star resorts in the U.S., the "Grand Del Mar" offers stunning views, casual sophistication and unmatched service to create a memorable weekend at a Del Mar resort.

The San Diego Fair is held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds every summer. Locals simply call it the "Del Mar Fair" even though the organizers call it the San Diego Fair. The location is just right - only a few blocks from the refreshing breezes off the ocean and Del Mar beach hotels.

There are many Del Mar bed and breakfasts, Del Mar Inns and Del Mar hotels, but the best values are fount at the Inn At Moonlight Beach. This boutique inn is intimate, quaint and near the beach; rates are under $165 a night. Visit this link for more information: Del Mar Bed and Breakfast.

Coast Highway which runs through Del Mar is one of San Diego County's best cycling routes. Start your bike ride in Del Mar and head south to Torrey Pines or north to Solana Beach, Encinitas, Leucadia and Carlsbad. The Coast Highway goes right by one of only locations in the world where the highly endangered Torrey Pine tree grows - as a result, these trees are highly protected. Torrey pines can be seen from the coast highway growing along the sea cliffs beneath the Del Mar beach hotels.
