Heading north from LaJolla, I was on a mission to find a beautiful view of Del Mar, California. Del Mar offers 2.5 miles of coastline and I learned that a stop at Dog Beach would be one of the best locations to watch the sunset.
I parallel parked along the street and found the trailhead that leads up into the cliffs. Making the climb, I could clearly see the River Mouth, which is where the San Dieguito River dumps into the ocean. It wasn’t long before I could see the spectacular view of Del Mar and patiently waited for the sun to set.
The beaches of Del Mar are beautiful and this northernmost beach is perfect for walking or jogging. This is also a lovely location for visitors to bring their dogs for a beautiful hike among the cliffs.
Within minutes, the glow of the sun began to reflect off of the coastal buildings of Del Mar beach, so I knew the sunset was just moments away. I continued to wait and shortly the sun disappeared into the horizon. The California sunsets never grow old and I will always search them out on my visits to the Golden State.
