Review:

Nestled between two wildly popular beach communities – La Jolla and Delmar, California, Torrey Pines State Reserve is a popular vacation attraction in San Diego’s North County.

The beach is sandy with rocky patches that sunbathers, surfers, and swimmers flock to during summer.

It’s backed by the stunning Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve with its sandstone cliffs and rare Torrey pine trees.

A walk along this long stretch of beach reveals the grandeur of the reserve. Visitors should stay back from the cliffs while walking or lounging on the beach, because they are unstable and can send large chunks of rock crashing down without notice. There is ample paid parking, bathrooms, and showers.
