  Beautiful hiking trail that as suitable for the whole family. Breathtaking views of the Pacific and natural sandstone. Get there early if you want to park at the top or expect a one mile hike up a very steep road before getting to the trails—this would be the most difficult part of the hike unless you avoid it. If you do park in the lower lot and take the path down to the beach and it’s low tide, you can walk the beach all the way back to your vehicle. Bring your own water / fluids, there’s absolutely zero commerce on-site. Would come back.

  This is a lovely walking/hiking area. Great way to start the day. Hike down to the beach at sunrise and get some fresh air. Relatively easy but a few steep spots and stairs.

  I enjoyed this place very much. If possible go during the work week there are so much less people. It only costs to park $30 and that requires waiting in a line. I was staying in downtown San Diego. I rode the blue rail trolley ($2.50) to UTC station. Arrived at the platform went down three flights and then crossed the street and found bus 101 ($2.50) to Ocean Side. The bus says breeze and is blue/orange ( very different from other red/white buses). Got off right at the entrance. ($5.00 total). Arrived little after 8am walked all three trails then exit the reserve walked down on the beach swam. Bus 101 back then UTC to Santa Fe. I had a great day and memories to last a lifetime

  My favorite local hiking spot! It gets crowded on weekends, especially in the warmer months, but midweek and fall/winter weekends are just fine. Go for the amazing views over the ocean, plenty of hiking options, and the trail down to the beach. You can stay on the paved path all the way up to Torrey Pines Golf Club if you’re not keen on the trails. It pays to get a California State Pass if you’re going to hike here or go to Torrey Pines State Beach regularly. Dogs aren’t allowed on the beach or trails. Watch for unstable cliffs— people have been killed when they collapse.

  Beautiful state beach. Not to crowded in the weekdays. Parking was easy. The both was open so we were able to just give them cash.
