Small Town Southern California: The Seaside Village of Del Mar
The vibrant village of Del Mar, 20 miles from San Diego, is just north of Torrey Pines State Preserve and State Beach. The small city isn’t quite a hidden gem, as millions of people visit the beaches, boutique shops, and eclectic restaurants and stay in its upscale hotels. Consider making Del Mar your homebase for your next Southern California getaway. Check into the L ’Auberge Del Mar, a picturesque beachside property that will make you feel right at home. Grab some coffee in the village and walk over to Powerhouse Park for amazing views of the surf and surfers, then head down to the long stretch of sandy beach for a walk. End your Del Mar experience with a sunset dinner at Poseidon Restaurant Del Mar— the food and view are both top notch.
Travel Tip: Time your visit for a trip to the Del Mar Racetrack at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, “where the surf meets the turf,” and enjoy an unforgettable day at the races. The race season is from mid-July to early September. Also check the event schedule at the fairgrounds— one of the most popular annual events is the San Diego County Fair, starting on June 8 and running through July 4, 2022.
