This Weekend’s for the Birds
Free Flight, located at 2132 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, is a local bird sanctuary at which visitors can feed and interact with the birds that inhabit it, but only after making reservations first. This quick, easy, and rewarding adventure will fit into your tight schedule, and present a new opportunity to learn about our feathered friends. Featuring parrots, cockatiels, and other stunning birds, they also offer adoption services and sponsorship programs where you can help out the sanctuary, a nonprofit organization, and get to know a little more about your favorite bird!
A Farmers Market Adventure
Open on Saturdays from noon to 4:00 PM year-round, the Del Mar Farmers Market, located at 1050 Camino Del Mar, offers a laid-back, fun, and delicious experience while also helping to stock your cabinets for the weekend. There is just something wonderful about walking the aisles of any farmers market and knowing that the one in Del Mar offers local produce that is pesticide-free, farm-fresh eggs, homemade baked goods, and locally sourced seafood will make you feel good about what you feed your family. Also offering arts, crafts, and flowers, this experience may encourage you to come back again when you have more time to visit and can purchase more items to enjoy during your Del Mar visit.
Or Maybe This Weekend will Go to the Dogs
Californians love their pets, and many of our Del Mar Vacation Rentals by Kimberly retreats will be dog-friendly, so a trip to the Del Mar Dog Beach should be high on your list of things to do. Located at 29th Street and Solana Beach, your dogs can even enjoy an off-leash experience in certain parts of the beach, but you will need to get up early, as there are time limits, from dawn until 8 AM. If your pooch has never had the freedom to splash around in the surf “naked,” this weekend will also be a weekend of wow for your sweet fur baby, just don’t forget to take plenty of pictures as a reminder!
Take a Hike!
Beautiful weather year-round means you never have to worry if it will be a good time to take a hike, and the Sea Cliff Coastal Bluff Trail in Del Mar will definitely offer a hike to remember. This trail isn’t a strenuous one or a long one, lasting just half a mile, but it is a hike that will burrow its way into your heart, especially if you visit during the spring when sea lavender is in bloom. Offering views of the sea, the flowers, and the Amtrak train speeding like a bullet on the tracks nearby, this trail really offers a peek into why so many people flock to Del Mar every year.
A Meal to Remember
The food we eat on vacation is as important to the success of our trips as the weekend rentals in Del Mar we choose and the adventures we experience, and a meal at Monarch Ocean Pub, located at 1555 Camino Del Mar #322, is destined to elevate your dining memories. The sea will be the extra guest near your table, and dinner on the patio at sunset will be the meal you compare all others against from here on out. Surprisingly inexpensive for an oceanfront restaurant in Del Mar, the menu is, of course, seafood-centric, but there is a kid’s menu for youngsters whose palate hasn’t quite matured, and land lubber favorites such as short rib pastrami sandwiches and innovative small plates that make sharing meals a happy experience. Their wine and cocktail menus will bring tears of joy to your eyes, we promise!
Time to Relax?
As you can see, we have jammed a lot of adventures into one tiny weekend, but we hope that you can also manage to take time to relax in our Vacation Rentals by Kimberly California retreats. Offering luxury amenities that may include swimming pools, hot tubs, rooftop decks with ocean views, and so many more, we don’t have enough time or space to list them all here. Our properties will be your favorite part of your Del Mar vacation experience. Reserve your favorite today!
