Seagrove Park Del Mar Wedding

Del Mar Seagrove Park is a lovely scenic Park in Del Mar. Del Mar Seagrove Park is right above the Pacific Ocean, and is a wonderful location for a beach wedding. The parking enforcement in the city Of Del Mar is top notch, unfortunately-which means you can count on getting a ticket, if your time in the meter runs out. Nevertheless-a beautiful wedding on the lush green grass lawn-surrounded by fragrant pine trees and the blue Pacific Ocean over yonder beyond the Cliffs is a treat! I was reminded of San Carlos Beach in Monterrey-right by the Aquarium- a lovely hilltop oasis of greenery over-looking pure ocean beauty. The playground at Seagrove cannot rival the wonderful Dennis the Menace playground in Monterrey-which is probably the best kid's hang-out bar none other than Chuckie Cheese-anywhere, but it is equally in as awesome a location. I attended a wedding at Seagrove and was struck by how clean and well-maintained the Park is. Hardly any dog poop; plenty of trash cans, Beautifully pruned pine trees that overlap and form an almost canopy of pine needles. I was admiring one pine tree that had keeled over but looked to be bonsai-trimmed into a tree sculpture-it was so Del Mar uber-cool. The 2 miles of Del Mar's sandy beaches stretches out before and in front of you as you gaze in admiration at the ocean's immense beauty. Love the multiple areas of park benches and particularly the benches put in some kind of semi-circular pattern among boulders and rocks just above the cliff's edge. To me Del Mar is reminiscent of Malibu-in that it's chi-chi image is well justified for being a rustic beach town, but a step above most other beach towns. The Parks seem cleaner; the beach-a lit bit more upscale; the nearby Starbuck's outdoor area-a posh caffeine retreat. I hadn't been up to the area to hang since I was a student at UCSD and I realize how much I missed it. Not as snobby as La Jolla or as pristine as La Jolla Shores but still up in the top beach and park tier as far as I'm concerned. When the trains go by, it's such a treat! If not for the abysmal lack of free parking, I would say this is the best overall park in San Diego. City Of Del Mar, 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014 (858) 755-9313
