Sea Grove Park is a small coastal park in Del Mar, set on a bluff above the Pacific. Its lawns, flowers, trees and paved paths give you room to stroll or settle on a bench with an ocean view. Bring a picnic for sunset, or walk down toward the beach and nearby Powerhouse Park. The setting is especially appealing if you want a quiet place to sit close to the shore; parking can be difficult at busy times, so consider arriving before sunset.
