Del Mar Beach is a popular sandy beach, about a mile long, frequented by locals and tourists. Located in Del Mar, CA, north of San Diego, much of the beach is lined with expensive beachfront homes. The beach can be accessed from almost every side street that connects the beach to both Coast Blvd and Camino Del Mar.
At the south end of the beach near 15th Street is Powerhouse Park, a large grassy area overlooking the beach, and host of the Del Mar Summer Concert Series. Also at the south end are the Del Mar Motel on the Beach, Jakes Del Mar and Poseidon Restaurant, the city’s only beachfront hotel and restaurants. Parking is available along Coast Blvd and in a public paid parking lot across the street from the park.
At the north end of the beach is Del Mar Dog Beach, one of only a few dog beaches in the county. Here, dogs can go unleashed and enjoy running on the sand and through the water. Beach access and parking are available along Camino Del Mar, just north of the bridge over the San Dieguito Lagoon inlet.
