Torrey Pines State Beach

Torrey Pines State Beach lies at the bottom of the State Reserve and hiking trails, which are incredibly popular and crowded on most weekends. The sandy beach is located just north of downtown La Jolla and south of neighboring Del Mar, making it easily accessible if you’re coming from La Jolla Village. Like many La Jolla beaches, Torrey Pines Beach is very family-friendly and has several amenities. This is a great area to get the best of both worlds: hit the trails first and then head to the beach!
