Del Mar is two square miles of beautiful coastal land, just 20 miles north of San Diego. The town’s landscape of sandy beaches, breathtaking canyons, hillside homes and ocean views make this a perfect Southern California destination. The 2.5 miles of beaches are made for lounging, surfing, swimming or picnicking. Del Mar is also famous for Torrey Pines State Reserve which is a 1700 acre natural habitat that borders the town on the south. The Torrey Pines Public Golf Course provides great outdoor recreation with fantastic Pacific views. Visitors also come to Del Mar for the famous Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, one of the world’s most famous race tracks. If shopping is on your mind, visit the Del Mar Plaza located on Camino del Mar, which offers upscale shops, galleries, boutiques and fine dining with ocean views. For a unique experience, consider the view of Del Mar from above by experiencing a hot air balloon ride.
