Facts about Del Mar

Del Mar is a beach city in San Diego County, California. Del Mar is Spanish for "of the sea" or "by the sea," which reflects its location on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. The Del Mar Horse Races are hosted on the Del Mar racetrack every summer. In 1885, Colonel Jacob Taylor purchased 338 acres from Enoch Talbert, with visions of building a seaside resort for the rich and famous. The United States Navy operated a Naval Auxiliary Air Facility for blimps at Del Mar during World War II. The population was estimated at 4,311 in 2014, up from 4,161 at the 2010 census.

Transportation

The historic Del Mar station was the only passenger stop between Oceanside and San Diego for many years and welcomed passengers from Los Angeles to the racetrack. When the Coaster commuter rail was being planned, officials recognized the need for ample parking, accessible access for wheelchair users, and a sensible routing for bus and shuttle service, and nearby Solana Beach was selected for a new station. The Del Mar City Council rejected any significant expansion of the facility, while still hoping to keep it in operation as an Amtrak-only station; but Amtrak moved their services to the new station.
