Del
Mar is a small city in it's own right, bordered by parks to the south
and east. Most famous for its 350 acre horse race track, which used to
attract
old Hollywood including Bing and Jimmy Durrante, owners of the
track.

repeat visitors and relocators who come to town to enjoy miles of
coastline, two and a half miles of beautiful beaches and the famous Torrey
Pines
State
Reserve,
located
within
San
Diego
city
limits
and yet
one of
the
wildest
stretches
of land
on our
Southern
California
coast!

plant
community,
the rare
and
elegant
Torrey
Pine
trees,
miles of
unspoiled
beaches,
and a
lagoon
that is
vital to
migrating
seabirds.
There
are 8
miles of
trails,
a
visitor
center,
and
guided
nature
walks on
weekends
and
holidays.

visited
by

from all
over the
world
and by
local

from Torrey
Pines
The southern half of Del
Mar rises up from the bluffs above the surf and into the hills. Winding
streets follow the landscape affording access to the view homes
on the slopes. An
abundance of mature trees
lends a woodsy feel.
The northern half of the
town
"The beach
colony"
is
completely
different...
....
it's flat with short streets ending on the sand
and mainly well cared
for beach homes.
