There aren't many public parks in Del Mar, but the Torrey Pines State Reservation, operated by the State of California Parks system, provides excellent hiking and nature exploring. Annual events at Del Mar's public spaces include Concert on the Plaza.

Two coastal parks, Powerhouse and Seagrove Parks above the Fifteenth Street surf break are ideal for picnics. The beach in Del Mar is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable in San Diego. The two plus miles of sandy beach offers a great place to relax, walk, or run.

North Beach is a Dog Beach located north of 29th Street and goes all the way to the city border with Solana Beach about .5 miles distance. Local runs and walks include the beach, coastal bluffs, Torrey Pines State Park, and the trails through the backside of Del Mar in Crest Canyon. All areas provide a unique vantage point to enjoy wildlife and the natural surroundings. On flat surf days, many surfers have found alternate avenues of enjoying the ocean via paddling and free-diving in our local waters. With an abundant local fish population and thriving Giant Sea Kelp forest, both activities are prime Southern California spots for these activities.

Two other unique opportunities to explore are Scripps Bluff Preserve and the newly restored San Dieguito River Lagoon. Both spots are located at the northern end of Del Mar and offer extraordinary views of the San Diego coastline, native plants, shorebirds, and other wildlife. Additionally, great training opportunities in the area include running the stairs up to the reserve and the trail out to the Lagoon.
