    Great beach, despite it's historic fame, sees a lot of families on weekends. Getting to the beach carrying anything - like a surfboard -may qualify as an Olympic event. But so worth it!

    Love the beach, bring water and tennis shoes for the climb. By the cliff side is very calm and quiet, perfect to relax and lie down naked and enjoy the sun. Water is too cold, even in summer days.

    everything is great ! I go here every weekend but on occasion you get the people who disrespect the beach but they are easily avoidable. I recommend digging a big hole and setting up in style 👌🏽

    Premium San Diego County beach break. Almost never closes out, walk down from the Gliderport or the secret back way (UCSD grads will know), plan for a calf burn on the way back up...!

    I’m not saying you should take your dog down the goat trail, I’m just saying I did it with a dog with tiiiiiiny lil legs.

    Fun spot to surf. Less crowded because you have to hike the side of a steep cliff (stunning) to get there. Clothing is optional at this one ;)

    Small but beautiful beach. The trail is kind of tiring (specially, going back after the beach day). One of the few nudist beaches in the area.

    Lots of naked men and creepers but still my favorite beach. Go with a group if you don't want a naked man to come hit on you with his dick waving in the breeze.

    Be prepared for a challenging hike down to the beach: the goat path (steep/dusty trail), or the stairs (safer steps built into the cliffside

    Great place to watch the sunset, or have a picnic. Head down torrey pines scenic dr. when you get to the end go to the right off road. Drive as far as you can and park.

    Justin McLachlan, author of the upcoming novel Time Up, here. If you can handle the hike down (and up) this is San Diego's most scenic—and unofficially clothing optional—beaches.

    Avoid the big crowds of la jolla here and parking is easier to find. Strong currents swim parallel of the beach to get out of it

    Use the ramp if your being a little lazy instead of accessing the beach via gliderport. It's on the south side in La Jolla farms.
