Del Mar - Fun Activities While Vacationing

By Terry Hunefeld


Del Mar California is an upscale ocean-side community just north of San Diego. We who live here think of San Diego as paradise, but the beach town area along the coast - what we locals refer to as "North County" - is even "one level up" in paradise.

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 ageless L'Auberge Del Mar, a San Diego resort that, as they say, "Celebrates the extraordinary connection we all have with the stillness, comfort and relaxation of the ocean."

Ranked among the best luxury resorts in the country by Conde Nast, L'Auberge Del Mar hotel brings together panoramic coastal views, casual elegance and personalized service to create an outstanding romantic weekend getaway 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.

Of all the Del Mar hotels and Del Mar bed and breakfasts, there is one that is at once intimate and romantic for 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.

San Diego's community of Del Mar is one of only locations in the world where the highly endangered Torrey Pine tree grows - as a result, these trees are highly protected. The Torrey Pine is the rarest pine tree in the United States. Torrey pines can be seen from the coast highway growing along the sea cliffs beneath Del Mar hotels and office buildings. These beautiful trees tolerate unrelenting drought and flourish on sandstone cliffs in the salt spay and cooking sun.
