Del Mar is an affluent, seaside resort city located just north of San Diego. It is famous for the Del Mar Racetrack, founded by Bing Crosby and other Hollywood stars in the 1930s, which gave rise to the slogan “Where the turf meets the surf.” The city is characterized by its small-town atmosphere, luxury living, and pristine beaches. It hosts the annual San Diego County Fair and offers a more relaxed, upscale alternative to the hustle of downtown San Diego. It is a destination for equestrian enthusiasts and those seeking high-end coastal dining and shopping.
