South Beach of Del Mar

South Beach in Del Mar is best described as south of Powerhouse Park all the way to 6th Street at the north end of Torrey Pines State Beach. This beach is less popular than the main beach north of Powerhouse Park known as Del Mar City Beach. You can park near Powerhouse or Seagrove Park and explore on the beach as far south as you want. Free street parking can also be found near the west end of 13th through 6th Streets where you’ll have to cross the railroad tracks and then find a route down the cliffy bluff to the beach. The safest route down the bluff is at 11th Steet, but it’s easy to park at any of the numbered streets and walk along a dirt path next to the railroad tracks to get there. South Del Mar Beach can be narrow at high tide which can put a damper on sunbathing and other beach activities here.
