Del Mar City Beach

Del Mar City Beach is a favorite of families, with the north part dog-friendly and surfable waves mixed in throughout. The north part of the beach runs from about 15th street to what is known as the Rivermouth (past gorgeous beachfront homes), where dogs are allowed to play. Two parks, Seagrove Park and Powerhouse Park border the sand around 15th street as sites for picnicking, weddings, bathrooms and easy access to Del Mar's shopping and restaurants. The south end of Del Mar City Beach is a bit more rustic with tide pools and cliffs, but it is walkable to Torrey Pines State Beach.
