About Del Mar
Del Mar
A small, unhurried coastal village north of La Jolla — known for its horse racing track, the Torrey Pines reserve on its southern edge, and a genuine small-town feel that has remained mostly intact despite the surrounding growth.
Del Mar sits between Solana Beach to the north and Torrey Pines to the south, occupying a ridge above one of the finest stretches of North County coastline. The village is compact and walkable — 15th Street is the commercial core — with restaurants, wine bars, and boutiques that lean independent rather than chain. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club runs a summer racing season from late July through early September that draws national attention and a festive local crowd. Outside of race season, the pace is calm. Residents tend to stay for decades.
