Torrey Pines State Beach, State beach with sandstone cliffs in San Diego, United States
The beach stretches along 300-foot white and golden sandstone cliffs, featuring a salt marsh estuary at Los Peñasquitos Lagoon in the northern section.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation established this protected coastal area in 1957 to preserve the native landscape and rare pine species.
The northern section welcomes swimmers and families, while the southern portion near Black's Beach accommodates naturists and advanced surfers seeking winter waves.
Four parking areas serve visitors, with a main entrance fee of $10 per vehicle, and the beach remains open from 8:00 AM until sunset daily.
The site contains one of only two natural populations of Pinus torreyana torreyana, making it an essential location for pine tree conservation in North America.
