Review:
Conveniently located within the city limits, yet one of the wildest stretches of land along the coast of Southern California, the Torrey Pines State Reserve is a spectacularly beautiful region that spans for over 2,000 acres.
If you are wondering what to do in San Diego on a sunny morning, the pristine reserve features a variety of rugged landscapes, ranging from verdant forests of rare Torrey pine trees and a burgeoning chaparral plant community to miles of untouched beaches and protected tidal zones. Enjoy excellent birdwatching at a large lagoon frequented by migrating seabirds and traverse a network of winding footpaths, trails and byways. Guided nature walks are held over the weekends and on special holidays while a modern visitor center provides essential information on the surrounding environment and the rules and regulations of the park. The Torrey Pines State Reserve is one of the top San Diego attractions.
