Vacations To Cabo San Lucas

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.

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 the rich and famous because of a famous 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 Del Mar beach hotels 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 Grand Del Mar, an awesome San Diego resort that, as they say, “Celebrates the connection we all have with stillness, comfort and relaxation.”

Rated among the best five-star resorts in the U.S. by Cond Nast, The Grand Del Mar offers stunning views, casual sophistication and unmatched service to create a memorable weekend 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.

Of all the Del Mar bed and breakfasts and Del Mar hotels, the only one that is quaint, romantic and close to the beach for under $200 a night is Ann Dunham’s Del Mar Bed and Breakfast.

Coast Highway which runs through Del Mar is one of San Diego County’s best cycling routes. Start your bike ride in Del Mar and head south to Torrey Pines or north to Solana Beach, Encinitas, Leucadia and Carlsbad. The Coast Highway goes right by one of only locations in the world where the highly endangered Torrey Pine tree grows - as a result, these trees are highly protected. Torrey pines can be seen from the coast highway growing along the sea cliffs beneath the Del Mar beach hotels.
