Del Mar, CA
#2
When we were there I remember loving hanging out and watching the hang gliders. I don't remember the specifics, if we went to Torrey Pines or where exactly. Maybe locals can share some specifics.

Yep, Torrey Pines. I remembered that as we were leaving my friend pointed out that there was a nude beach at the base of the cliff. I probably would have never know otherwise. ![Imported](https://www.fodors.com/community/images/smilies/imported/wink.gif)

Del Mar has a beautiful beach, lots of good restaurants and some nice shopping. Try Jake's Del Mar, right on the beach and the next-door place, Poseidon.

It's close to La Jolla with all its shopping and restaurants.
Going north, you hit Solana Beach with the Cedros Avenue design area and the famous Belly-Up Tavern.

To the east you'll find the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve, a lovely place to hike or go for horseback rides.

I had a retreat in Del Mar 2 years ago, and thought the area was terrific! It was held at the Casa Del Mar. A small group went on a hike close by, so I know there's some good hiking trails, if that's your thing.
A number of years ago I took my husband down to Del Mar to celebrate something -- either our anniversary or his birthday, can't remember which. I surprised him with a hot air balloon ride, and Del Mar seems to be the hot air balloon capital of California! It is something fun and really special to do -- I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I am scared of heights! I think we used California Dreamin' that included wine or champagne, but you can google "Del Mar" and "hot air balloons" and come up with a number of companies that do this.
