In Del Mar, browse the cute boutiques in Del Mar Village or head to Flower Hill Promenade, an outdoor shopping center that has become one of San Diego’s most thriving retail destinations with an eclectic mix of locally owned retailers. If you're headed to the Del Mar Racetrack, be sure to pick up a glamorous hat to wear while cheering on the ponies—a racetrack tradition.
