Del Mar – God’s Playground
Imagine a romantic vacation getaway to a quiet, relaxing and scenic village on the beautiful Pacific Ocean. This getaway has charming hotels and Inns, phenomenal restaurants and miles of gorgeous beaches. It’s just those elements that make up the gem that is called Del Mar, California.
Del Mar is Spanish for “of the sea” or “by the sea”, because it is located near the Pacific Ocean and is one of the most beautiful and romantic resort beach towns in the world. It’s here you find world-class restaurants, romantic bed and breakfasts, exotic hiking trails, delightful beaches and a world famous horse racing track
Del Mar has been home to celebrities ever since the 1940′s when Bing Crosby, Pat O’Brien and Jimmy Durante helped turn the Del Mar Race Track Thoroughbred Club into one of the most beautiful and prestigious organizations in the entire racing world. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez were regulars at the track in those days, and Burt Bacharach and Angie Dickenson also had residences in Del Mar. Brad Pitt purchased a home here recently – an $18 million dollar beachfront home – so now Brad Pitt sightings are the new sport in town.
San Diego Attractions
Although the region known as San Diego is plentiful in activities for older adults, lets not dismiss the kids in your family. There are numerous public parks designed for kids to enjoy in addition to a number of museums for younger children to gain knowledge from while having fun.
If your son or daughter appreciates animals, then there is the popular San Diego Zoo as well as the San Diego Animal Park easily located in San Diego’s Balboa Park. While Balboa Park is located just north of the city, if time permits, you really should take some time to experience the park with your kids especially if zoos are disliked by your children.
Regardless of how old or young your child is, all kids will love the world renowned Sea World which boasts the most recognizable killer whale worldwide, Shamu. Along with Shamu, there are other exhibits for the family to experience. Sea World has been entertaining kids for years and will be gaining new fans for years to come.
