Bathing in the glow of the Californian sun, Del Mar boasts a vibrant history dating back to its establishment as a seaside resort by Theodore M. Loop and Colonel Jacob Taylor in 1885. Initially intended for the glitz and glam of Hollywood's elite, Del Mar's distinctive charm has only grown over the decades. Food for the soul, the annual racing season and the San Diego County Fair have enthralled visitors year after year.

The city, though small in size with a population of around 4,161 according to the 2020 census, is awash with natural beauty from the rare Torrey Pines to the pristine beaches. It's worth noting that not all areas of Del Mar offer public beach access, but excellent surfing spots can be found throughout the city's coastline regardless. Local governance ensures effective conservation measures in place against coastal erosion and other impacts of climate change, helping to preserve the city's stunning seaside appeal.

When to visit Del Mar

Spring, summer or fall, the choice isn't easy when it comes to selecting the perfect time to visit Del Mar. The months of July, August, and September find the city at its warmest, making it a superb time for beachgoers and fans of the outdoor activities. For the best chance of dry weather, consider planning your visit around late May to early June.

If you're eyeing a more budget-friendly stay, you might want to consider November when hotel deals tend to be more generous. Not to forget, nearby towns such as Solana Beach and Cardiff-by-the-Sea can easily be added to the itinerary, offering even more opportunities to experience Southern California's bountiful allure.
