Del Mar California is an upscale ocean-side community just north of San Diego. We who live here think of San Diego as paradise, but the beach town area along the coast - what we locals refer to as "North County" - is even "one level up" in paradise.
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 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 lodging accommodations and Del Mar resorts are breathtaking, although they tend to be quite pricey. One of the most exclusive Del Mar hotels is near the beach: it's the famous L'Auberge Del Mar, a fashionable San Diego resort that "Celebrates the extraordinary relationship we all have with the harmony and relaxation of the Pacific 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.
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.
