Del Mar

Historically known and affectionately referred to as the location… “where the turf meets the surf,” Del Mar is indeed home to an internationally acclaimed and widely enjoyed Thoroughbred Race Meet, which prides itself on hosting an annual and uber swanky gathering of equines and their human admirers, as well as a variety of fascinating personalities, local and foreign dignitaries among thousands of other “everyday” racing enthusiasts. Glamorous stories and fast horses, though, aren’t the only attractions which draw the attention to Del Mar, which it so richly deserves.

As its very name indicates, Del Mar (“of the sea” in Spanish) is home to some of California’s most desired oceanfront property, spectacular beaches, exquisite resorts, fine, casual and creative dining experiences, together with an amalgamation of artistic expression and beachy vibes that’s absolutely indescribable. All of those elements combine for a highly desired locale.

If that variety of amenities doesn’t capture your fancy, consider this… Del Mar is one of the only two locations where the fabled “Torrey Pine” tree grows naturally, and as the rarest varietal of pine in the United States, that’s just one more extraordinary reason to love this special seaside community.
