Although it now costs $10 to get into Torrey Pines State Park, it is well worth it for the beach hike! You start at the top of the cliffs and wind your way down until you reach the beach. After cooling off in the waves, you can make your way back up to the top. Awesome views on the way...

Owner description:
Although this park is located within San Diego's city limits, it remains one of the wildest landscapes along the Southern California coast, with miles of unspoiled beaches, chaparral, elegant Torrey Pine trees and a lagoon vital to many species of migrating birds.

Great stroll along the beach then a short climb up the hill to views up and down the coast, don't forget to go on the short Fleming loop trail for more stunning views.

I have been to San Diego dozens of times and only started exploring the reserve on my last few trips. It is a magical place where amazing crooked pines meet the cliffs above the sea. I had the best trail run of my life there - you can run along the trails to the beach!

Great place to hike. Park on the highway for free or buy a park pass to save ten dollar daily parking

The trails are well marked and not too strenous. We expected to see a forrest of trees, however there are limited trees in this area as it is in a desert setting. The trees that were in the park were special and the coast view was special.
