Welcome to Del Mar

An artsy beach village with horse racing, surfing, and world-class seafood restaurants

Originally established as a seaside resort offering relaxation, recreation, and breathtaking views to stars of old Hollywood, Del Mar is known for its thrilling horse racing, sumptuous restaurants, and premium leisure. The Del Mar Fairgrounds presents art exhibitions, various entertainment events, the annual San Diego County Fair, and a wide range of events throughout the year attracting residents and tourists alike.

For decades, architect John Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright, lived and worked in Del Mar and designed several mid-century homes in the Prairie School style. Del Mar’s palm-lined streets boast modern single-family homes, craftsman bungalows, and stunning estates.
