Though it can be a bit confusing to differentiate between the Del Mar beaches, they are easy to find and walk between each one. South Beach is defined as south of Powerhouse Park all the way down to 6th Street at the southern end of Torrey Pines State Beach. This section is less popular for swimming and surfing than the neighboring Northern portion, but the high, jagged cliffs above it make for a beautiful and scenic beach walk.
