Del Mar is a twenty - thirty minute drive north of downtown San Diego and it would be a great day trip. There is a nice feel in Del Mar and besides the shops and restaruants on the main street, there is a unique complex offering such diversions as shopping the boutiques or eating at one of the great restaruants, my favorite is Il Fornaio, located at the top level of the Del Mar Plaza. Del Mar Plaza is an interesting setting for shoppers, it is fashioned after a type of Mediterranean hill town, full of rocks, steps and glorious views of the ocean. The beach is surrounded by a more rustic landscape and parts are below jutting cliffs which Grove Park sits at the top of and sometimes parking is a problem. In the summer, the San Diego County Fair is held at the Del Mar Race track and throughout the year there are all kinds of convention type activities, such as the ever popular Orchid Shows. However, just after the SD County Fair closes it's doors, the Del Mar Race Track opens for the best of all sports, horse racing, and at the races, betting is allowed. Good Luck!
