Guidebook for Del Mar
Food Scene
Half-price rolls ALL THE TIME. Plus a buy-two-beers-get-a-free-sake special. You can't get a better deal on sushi in the area. Also a bunch of sports on multiple screens if that's your thing!

You literally cannot go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu here. Amazing breakfast and brunch menu. Gets a bit on the chilly side at night because all seating is outdoors; bring a coat.

If you're going to cook, go get your ingredients here. There's a fresh fish vendor who sells sushi-grade catches of the day, a cheesemonger, a breadmaker, egg vendor...literally anything you need.
Opens at 2:00 pm on Saturdays but go after 2:30. The fish guy is usually late and it's worth waiting for him.

The best sushi in San Diego. Tucked away in a tiny little parking lot behind a 7-11. You'd never find it or suspect it's as good as it is. Japanese tourists go to Ota. It's THAT GOOD.

This beach is a personal favorite, because it's nestled along cliffs on both sides. Great spot for both swimming and just parking on the sand for the day. Also, the village of Encinitas is RIGHT THERE.
