Del Mar California is a fashionable beach-side town just north of San Diego. We who live here like to think that San Diego is paradise, but the beach towns along the coast - what we call North County - is even better - definitely a heavenly type of 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 long history of celebrities, in a large part because of its world-class horse racing track built in the 1930's under the direction and patronage of Bing Crosby and Jimmy Durante. Their celebrity status made the Del Mar Race Track Thoroughbred Club one of the most beautiful and prestigious organizations in the racing world. The race track brought a steady steam of celebrities to the hotels in Del Mar and many Del Mar inns and resorts were established during this time.
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.
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.
Del Mar California is one of few locations in the world where the Torrey Pine grows. The Torrey Pine is the one of the rarest pine trees in the United States - the Monterey cypress is rarer, but it's not technically a pine tree. The Torrey pines along the sea cliffs of Del Mar endure persistent drought and grow in hard sand which can hardly be called "soil". They are blasted by storms, soaked in salt spay and cooked in the sun, but they live stubbornly on.
