Torrey Pines State Beach, State beach in San Diego County, United States
The beach stretches along sandstone cliffs rising 300 feet above the Pacific Ocean, creating a natural border between Del Mar and La Jolla.
California Department of Parks and Recreation established protection for this coastal area in 1957 to preserve its natural characteristics for future generations.
The northern section welcomes swimmers and sunbathers while the southern portion connects to Black's Beach, known for surfing and clothing-optional activities.
Visitors can access parking facilities at the South Beach kiosk or along Highway 101, with entrance fees of 10 dollars per vehicle.
The beach sits beneath cliffs containing the last natural grove of Pinus torreyana, a pine species that exists only in this coastal region.
