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.
This North County San Diego heaven is a community of petite beach towns - Solana Beach, Encinitas, Cardiff-By-The-Sea, Carlsbad and Del Mar - all with refreshing ocean breezes. Our little beach towns sport delightful hotels, resorts and inns, incredible restaurants and stunning beaches.
Del Mar Ca has a very long record of celebrities living and playing here due to the Del Mar horse racing track built under the guidance and inspiration of Jimmy Durante and Bing Crosby nearly 70 years ago. Their Hollywood star-power put the Del Mar Horse Race Track on the map as one of the most ritzy and prominent associations in the racing world. The Del Mar horse track brought a steady steam of well-known Los Angeles and New York celebrities to the Del Mar hotels and motels, and dozens of Del Mar inns and resorts prospered as a result.
Del Mar lodging accommodations and Del Mar resorts are breathtaking, although they tend to be quite pricey. One of the most exclusive Del Mar hotels is near the beach: it's the famous L'Auberge Del Mar, a fashionable San Diego resort that "Celebrates the extraordinary relationship we all have with the harmony and relaxation of the Pacific Ocean."
L'Auberge Del Mar hotel is ranked among the finest and most elegant resorts in the world by Cond Nast Traveler. L'Auberge Del Mar hotel brings together phenomenal coastal views, marvelous sophistication and tailored service to produce a one-of-a-kind romantic vacation at a Del Mar resort.
The San Diego County Fair comes to the Del Mar Fairgrounds each summer. We locals call it the Del Mar Fair - in fact, nobody I know every call it the San Diego County Fair. The location is perfect -- just a few blocks from the cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean on hot summer days. If you're coming to the fair, be sure to check your reservations well in advance at any of the Del Mar Ca Hotels or Del Mar Inns.
There are many Del Mar bed and breakfasts, Del Mar Inns and Del Mar hotels, but the one that I find is the most intimate, quaint and near the beach and ocean for under $165 a night is 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.
