Here is a very in-depth and useful guide to the city of Del Mar. You’ll find lots of history and facts, as well as a ton off graphs about the home values, demographics and schools.
Del Mar: Sleepy Village by the Sea – 92014
Near-perfect weather year-round attracts a steady stream of repeat visitors who come to Del Mar to enjoy miles of coastline, two beautiful beaches, the famous Torrey Pines State Reserve, and outstanding dining and shopping in a quaint Tudoresque village,
dotted with historical cottages and the finest in innovative architectural design. Del Mar is the closest you will come to finding a true village atmosphere in coastal San Diego County. Thanks to the vigilant attempts of the populace to keep development under control, coupled with the breezy, relaxed atmosphere of the racetrack, Del Mar has the air of a less harried time in California’s past.
The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and Race Track
The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and Race Track is open from late July through early September, packing the town with racing buffs. Beginning in November 2014, the Del Mar Racetrack will host an additional 5 week season of horse racing. The Bing Crosby Season goes from Friday, November 7 through Sunday, November 30th. The track is closed on Monday for the both track sessions. The racetrack was built in the 1930’s as the brainchild of local celebrities, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Durante, and Pat O’Brien. Bing wrote and recorded a song to commemorate the track’s opening in 1937. “Where the Surf Meets the Turf ” is still played before the first race.
Bing Crosby’s Legacy at Del Mar
When Del Mar opened in 1937, Bing Crosby was at the gate to personally greet the fans. On August 12, 1938, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club hosted a $25,000 winner-take-all match race between Charles S. Howard’s Seabiscuit and the Binglin Stable’s colt, Ligaroti. In an era when horse racing ranked second in popularity with Americans to Major League Baseball, the match race was front-page news, as well as the first nationwide broadcast of a thoroughbred race by NBC radio.
Seabiscuit’s Historic Race
In the race, Seabiscuit was ridden by jockey George Woolf and Ligaroti by Noel Richardson. In front of a record crowd that helped make the fledgling Del Mar Race Track a success, Seabiscuit won an exciting battle by a nose. By 1940, Del Mar became the summer playground for many Hollywood stars, including W.C. Fields, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Red Skelton, Ava Gardner, and Dorothy Lamour. Long-time Track boss, Joe Harper, is himself the grandson of film director Cecil B. De Mille.
Legendary Jockeys and Trainers
Many of the jockeys and trainers at the Del Mar Racetrack have reached legendary status as well. Among them are Johnny Longden, who had the record for the most wins at Del Mar until his record was surpassed by William Lee “Bill” Shoemaker in 1970. Laffit Pincay, Jr. is one of our modern-day greats, and notable trainers include Charles Wittingham, Farrell Jones, Robert Frankel and Bob Baffert.
Opening Day is an exciting day at the track. The Turf Club is a fashion event with women in designer couture and fabulous hats, while men are required to wear either sports jackets or suits. Outside the Turf Club, locals and tourists pack the track wearing beach attire.
Located directly on the Pacific Ocean, the track has a one-mile main dirt track and a seven-furlong turf course. In early 2007, a new $9 million Polytrack surface was installed. There is stabling for more than 1,000 horses.
The Del Mar Fairgrounds
During the off-season, the site of the race track, The Fairgrounds, is home to many attractions including horse shows, trade shows, concerts, and the famous Del Mar Fair, which draws over 750,000 people from mid-June through early July.
Del Mar City Beach: A Sunbather’s Paradise
“You’d catch ‘em surfin’ at Del Mar”(lyric from Beach Boys’ hit “Surfin’ USA)” Del Mar City Beach is a sunbather’s paradise, suitable for swimming, body surfing, boardsurfing, surf- fishing, strolling jogging, frisbee, and paddleball. A grassy play area, Seagrove Park, sits on the short bluffs overlooking the beach from the south end. The park, coastal walkway, and beach are separated from town by railroad tracks.
Exploring Del Mar Bluffs and Dog Beach
Beyond Del Mar City Beach lies the mouth of the San Dieguito River, which is dry at low tide, and the Del Mar Bluffs City Park. A steep wooden staircase laden with sand leads to a spectacular overlook from the top of the bluff. The 360-degree panorama encompasses the ocean, the racetrack and the town.
Here you will find Dog Beach (known as North Beach by the locals), a haven for dogs and their owners. According to Del Mar Dog Laws; dogs are allowed off leash north of 29th Street Beach to just north of the rivermouth from the day after labor day to June 15th. Between June 16th and Labor Day dogs are allowed in the same area but are required to be on leashes. Owners are asked to clean up after their dog.
Seascape Shores and Solana Beach
To the north, straddling Del Mar and neighboring Solana Beach, is Seascape Shores, a sandy stretch of beach reachable from stairways near the 500 and 700 blocks of South Sierra Avenue. These beaches are popular with locals and tourists and, in season, you might catch trainers working their horses on the beach.
Torrey Pines State Beach and Reserve
To the south, Torrey Pines State Beach is a coastal beach just south of Del Mar and north of La Jolla. A quintessential Southern California beach, it is at the bottom of 300-foot sandstone cliffs. At the south end of the beach, the Torrey Pines State Reserve offers hiking trails with magnificent ocean views and the rare Torrey Pine trees.
For divers, the reefs just outside the surf zone are teeming with beautiful local sea life, such as urchins, local fish, Pacific spiny lobster, rock scallops and abalone. For even better diving, the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater park starts at the southern border of Del Mar and ends at Point La Jolla off the La Jolla Cove with warm water and excellent visibility.
Dining & Shopping
For a small community, Del Mar has a large number of superb restaurants, located mostly on the main street of Camino Del Mar,
by the beach, and along Via De La Valle. Small boutiques abound, both on Camino Del Mar and in the Del Mar Plaza which is on
the corner of Camino Del Mar and 15th Street. A number of the dining establishments are dog-friendly.
Early Beginnings of Del Mar
(For a full history of Del Mar, read Del Mar Looking Back by Nancy Hanks Ewing and The Del Mar Picture Book by Dr. Lisa Pluth) In 1882, the Southern California Railroad began its new route from San Diego to San Bernardino. Theodore Loop, an employee of the railroad, instantly fell in love with what he called “the most attractive place on the entire coast.” He and his wife, Ella, built a tent city on the beach, which Ella called Del Mar after a popular poem titled, “The Fight on Paseo Del Mar.”
Colonel Jacob Taylor and the Casa Del Mar Resort
The same year, Colonel Jacob Taylor Shell stumbled upon Del Mar and the following year bought 338 acres of land for $1,000. Colonel Taylor built a seaside spot named Casa Del Mar, which he thought would become a resort destination for the rich and famous. The hotel, dance pavilion, bathhouse and pool, and railroad depot thrived briefly before succumbing to bankruptcy, flood, and fire by 1890.
The Rise of The Stratford Inn and Hollywood Appeal
Several years later, the South Coast Land Company eventually built a new hotel called The Stratford Inn. From the moment it opened its doors in 1910, the hotel became a focal point of town and a magnet for Hollywood stars.
During the 1920’s, San Diego Gas and Electric brought electricity to San Diego, at which time the residential areas of Del Mar began developing at a record pace. The town received a facelift with a rebuilt pier and new roads into town. The Fairgrounds opened in 1936, and the racetrack a year later.
Incorporation and Modern Governance
By 1958, the residents of Del Mar were faced with the decision of remaining part of the city of San Diego or achieving independence
through incorporation. In 1959, residents chose incorporation and established a council-manager form of government, which
continues today.
The city of Del Mar (encompassing Beach Colony, Del Mar Bluffs, and Olde Del Mar) is now distinct from the rest of Del Mar 92014. There is a five-member City Council, elected by voters, that sets city policy, determines budget priorities, allocates city resources, and hears Planning Commission appeals. The Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney. The rest of 92014 has a Del Mar Post Office zip code but is governed by the CITY of San Diego.

Data Source and Important Advisory:
SANDAG Population and Housing Estimates are derived from a composite of data sources including but not limited to (1) the California Department of Finance (DOF) E-5 Population and Housing Estimates for Cities, Counties, and the State, 2020-2022,
(2) the vintage 2020 DOF P-3 Race/Ethnicity and Sex by Age for California and Counties, (3) the 2022 SANDAG Land Use and
Housing Units inventory, and (4) the Census American Community Survey Detailed tables
Caution should be taken when using Population and Housing Estimates, especially for small areas of geography. Sampling error
inherent with the data may materially impact the reliability of the estimates, resulting in a substantial margin of error. Additionally,
conclusions should not necessarily be drawn about small differences between two or more estimates because they may
not reflect statistically significant differences.
Three Year Weighted Average Performance Index Report
API School Scores in San Diego County
In previous years, we have provided a comparison of Academic Performance Index (API) school scores for San Diego County. However, on September 11, 2013, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill “AB 484,” which immediately suspended the API scoring system as of the 2013 school year. This marked a significant change in how school performance would be assessed moving forward.
Limitations of the API System
The decision to suspend the API system stemmed from concerns that it did not fairly or accurately reflect a school’s overall performance. Factors such as diversity and the percentage of students accepted into college were not adequately considered in the previous scoring model, making it an incomplete measure of school success.
Introduction of the Smarter Balanced Assessments Program
With the suspension of the API, a new system was introduced under the “Smarter Balanced Assessments Program.” This program, which is aligned with Common Core standards, will be conducted on computers to offer a more modern and accurate assessment method. The new system was implemented as a trial run, with the goal of providing a more comprehensive evaluation of student performance.
Adoption of the Three-Year Weighted Average
The California State Board of Education has recommended using a three-year weighted average (2011-2013) as a temporary measure for reflecting school performance while the new system is tested. During this transition, the Board also decided not to calculate the 2015 Growth and Base Academic Performance Indexes for elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as local educational agencies.

San Diego’s Renowned Community Colleges
San Diego is widely known for its exceptional and affordable community colleges, which serve as a gateway to California’s prestigious 4-year universities. Two of the most popular and closest community colleges are MiraCosta College, with campuses in Oceanside and San Elijo, and Palomar College, located in San Marcos. These colleges provide students with solid educational foundations before transferring to four-year institutions.
Other Community Colleges in the Region
In addition to MiraCosta and Palomar, several other community colleges are available across the region. These include:
- Cuyamaca College (El Cajon)
- Grossmont College (La Mesa)
- San Diego City College (Downtown San Diego)
- San Diego Mesa College (Linda Vista)
- San Diego Miramar College (Mira Mesa)
- Southwestern College (Chula Vista)
Each of these institutions offers diverse programs and transfer opportunities, making them accessible and valuable for students throughout San Diego County.
California State Universities vs. University of California Schools
The higher education system in California is divided into two main branches: California State Universities (CSU) and University of California (UC) schools. CSUs, which offer programs up to the Master’s level, admit the top third of high school seniors in the state. In contrast, UC schools, which award doctorates, admit the top 13-18% of high school seniors, offering more advanced degrees and research opportunities.
Notable Higher Education Institutions in San Diego
San Diego is home to a wide array of higher learning institutions, including universities, law schools, and specialized colleges. Some of the notable schools in the area include:
- Alliant International University
- Bethel Seminary
- California State University (San Diego and San Marcos)
- California Western School of Law
- National University
- Point Loma Nazarene University
- University of California San Diego (UCSD)
- Thomas Jefferson School of Law
These institutions provide students with a range of academic programs, from undergraduate degrees to advanced doctoral and law degrees.
