Fun And Almost Free Outdoor Activities While In Del Mar

By Terry Hunefeld


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.

Our North County "paradise" is a community of small, quaint beach towns: Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Cardiff, Leucadia and Carlsbad all blessed with cooling ocean breezes. Our towns have charming hotels, resorts and inns, unbelievable restaurants and absolutely gorgeous 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 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."

Rated among the best five-star resorts in the U.S. by Conde Nast, L'Auberge Del Mar hotel offers stunning views, casual sophistication and unmatched service to create a memorable weekend at a Del Mar resort - for a price.

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.
