VACATIONS
With its famous racetrack, more than 2 miles of coastline, and upscale food options, Del Mar, California, has long been the perfect spot for a luxury American vacation.
Highly-rated resorts and exquisite dining go hand in hand in Del Mar. Check out the well-regarded Fairmont Grand Del Mar, with its Tuscan decor, large suites, and opulent grounds.
You won't have to go far to find some of the best dining around, since the hotel's French restaurant, The Addison, is the home to San Diego's first Michelin-star restaurant.
With its location along the coastline, visitors can visit 15th Street Beach or sit on the grassy perch above the beach at Seagrove Park and watch the surfers or try to spot whales.
From there, access Del Mar City Beach to the north, a long stretch of popular sand that leads all the way to another natural wonder worth exploring: The San Dieguito Lagoon.
