DOG BEACH
With good exposure to all swell directions and a good mix of sand bottom beach break and patchy reefs, surfers can find some great rides year-round. Grab board shorts for 77-degree summer water temps and fullsuits for the cool 57-degree winter water. Before paddling out, always know the current conditions and understand surfing etiquette. Visit delmar.ca.us/209/Surfing.
The Del Mar Racetrack has been drawing crowds since 1939 when Bing Crosby first greeted guests at its gates. Today, it is one of the nation’s premier facilities and favorite summer pastime. The racetrack is located at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar, 92014. Visit dmtc.com or call 858.755.1141 or 858.792.4242.
Dog-friendliness has been a city tradition since it incorporated in 1959 and, for proof, look no further than North Beach, affectionately known as “Dog Beach.” Dogs must be leashed during the summer but can be unleashed the rest of the year. To access “Dog Beach,” use the paid parking along Coast Highway north of 29th Street. Dog Beach is located at 3006 Sandy Lane, Del Mar, 92014. For info, visitdelmarvillage.com or call 858.735.3650.
