Blacks Beach

Blacks Beach is also known as Torrey Pines City Beach and Torrey Pines State Beach and is actually jointly controlled by the city and the state, so the nickname Blacks Beach is more commonly used. This two mile strip of sandy beach is flanked on one side by the ocean and on the other a high cliff rises up to meet the sand. This makes it perfect for hang gliders, paragliders and remote controlled gliders. But the cliffs make it rather difficult to get to the beach, the safest way to get down is to walk down from one of the adjacent beaches. Sometimes there are lifeguards on the beach but not at all times, which is probably why the beach sometimes is used as a nude beach, although not officially allowed. Basically this is typically a sparsely populated beach and doesn’t have the amenities of some others but if you want to get away from the crowds this might be just the place.
