Del Mar is a lovely upscale beach town in Southern California just north of San Diego. Del Mar is Spanish for "by the sea." Del Mar is located along the Pacific Ocean and was founded in the nineteenth century as a seaside resort for the rich and famous.
For good reason, Del Mar is the most popular beach community in San Diego. Great beaches, world-class Del Mar hotels, seaside fairgrounds, famous horseracing and a lovely downtown village provide lots of activities for everyone. Powerhouse Park even has a big children's playground and is especially great for families with young kids. Beachgoers can also find delicious inexpensive eats at Roberto's taco stand on Carmel Valley Road, overlooking the beautiful Los Penasquitos Lagoon.
Del Mar has a long history of the rich and famous because of a famous horse racing track built in the 1930's under the direction and patronage of Bing Crosby and Jimmy Durante. Their celebrity status made the Del Mar Race Track Thoroughbred Club one of the most beautiful and prestigious organizations in the racing world. The race track brought a steady steam of celebrities to the Del Mar beach hotels and many Del Mar inns and resorts were established during this time.
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 age-old San Diego County Fair has been held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds every summer. Locals refer to it as the Del Mar Fair - no one ever calls it the San Diego County Fair. The fair's location is perfect because it is only several blocks from the refreshingly cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean on the first hot days of summer. If you decide to visit the fair, make sure you get reservations for accommodation before hand from any of the Del Mar inns or Del Mar hotels.
There are not many Del Mar beach hotels or Del Mar beach bed and breakfasts. One of the few is both intimate and romantic and costs under $175 a night. It's just 5 minutes up the coast highway from downtown Del Mar, a little boutique inn called the 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.
