Located on the southern part of the city of Solana Beach, Del Mar Shores Beach Access - also known as Cherry Hill - is situated north of the city of San Diego. Del Mar Shores Beach Access has light brown sand and is narrow. The beach is located below the blufftop residential area of Del Mar Shores and parts of the bluff side near the beach are fixed with concrete and rocky embankments for the prevention of erosion. While Del Mar Shores Beach Access has lifeguards during summers between 10 am to 6 pm, it does not have any other amenities, so plan accordingly. Dogs on leash are allowed in the southern part of Del Mar Shores Beach Access. This dog-friendly area is next to the access stairs for Del Mar Shores Beach Access.
