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 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."
Ranked among the best luxury resorts in the country by Conde Nast, L'Auberge, Del Mar beach hotel brings together panoramic coastal views, casual elegance and personalized service to create an outstanding romantic weekend getaway at a Del Mar resort.
The San Diego County Fair comes to the Del Mar Fairgrounds each summer. Locals call it the Del Mar Fair - in fact, nobody calls it the San Diego County Fair. The location is just perfect as it's only a few blocks from the cooling breezes of the Pacific Ocean on those hot summer days. If you plan to visit the fair, be sure to make reservations at a hotel in Del Mar.
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.
Del Mar has two seaside parks - Seagrove and Powerhouse - both great for picnicking and stunning ocean views. Often referred to as "Malibu South," Del Mar hotels are second to none, especially the luxury beach hotels. Visitors love the trendy cafes and Italian restaurants located along Old Coast Highway 101.
