About Del Mar
Located along the Southern California coast, Del Mar is a charming seaside town known for its stunning beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking ocean views, golden sand, and a variety of outdoor activities.
Del Mar Beach stretches for about two miles, offering plenty of space for sunbathing and beach games. The waves make it a great spot for swimming, paddleboarding and boogie boarding. In addition, lifeguards are on duty to ensure safety. Water conditions can vary and there are times when the ocean can become unsafe, even in normally calm areas. It is important to always check the local conditions before heading out.
The consistent waves attract surfers of all skill levels. Kayaking and snorkeling are also enjoyed in the clear, blue waters. During low tide, tide pools reveal fascinating marine life.
Downtown Del Mar offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes. Local boutiques sell unique clothing, jewelry, and home decor. Art galleries showcase works from talented local artists. The dining scene features fresh seafood, farm-to-table dishes, and oceanfront views. Jake’s is one of the best seafood restaurants in the area.
The Del Mar Racetrack hosts horse racing events during the summer and fall. Just a short drive away, Torrey Pines State Reserve offers scenic hiking trails with breathtaking ocean views. The San Diego county fair runs from mid June to just after the fourth of July.
San Diego Weather
San Diego has some of the best weather in the world. Temperatures remain mild throughout the winter and summer.
Most rain falls between December and April. May and June are often very cloudy and cool as the marine layer covers the beach communities. This is caused by the deserts warming up and pulling the clouds and fog over the coast. There can be weeks without seeing any sun at all during this time of the year. Often these two months are referred to as “May gray” and “June gloom”.
Summertime high temperatures are generally in the 70s and 80s with night time lows in the 60s. Winter cools off with highs in the low to mid 60s and lows in the 50s during the night. Rarely does the temperature exceed 90 degrees or fall into the 30s at night.
Occasionally a weather phenomena called a “Santa Ana” will drive temperatures near 100 degrees and are often accompanied by very high, near hurricane force, winds.
This area is not prone to high winds except when a large, strong storm moves through or a Santa Ana weather event happens.
Occasionally a tropical storm or hurricane will influence the weather but it is very rare to experience a direct hit in this area.
