I was visiting from the East Coast and did this park on my last day of visiting. This park is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for anyone to visit on a time crunch. The parking fee was not too expensive and I was thankful I was able to drive to the top, which also helped with the time crunch. The trails were well maintained and the views were spectacular. I would love to come back here.
It was a great place to hike. Beaches were beautiful as usual. I loved the sunset cliffs more than this. Parking was busy but we did find a spot. Restrooms were decent. Plenty of crowd on a Saturday. So, slightly tough to enjoy peacefully. Also, has a 20$ entry fee. Not as good as sunset cliffs but alright I guess!
Amazing state park and reserve! There is a $20 fee to enter the park by car which is well worth it. Alternatively you can find a free parking spot close to the park and just walk into it along the beautiful beach. I would recommend taking a free natural walk tour at 10am. Our volunteer guides, Steve and Leigh were amazing and super knowledgeable!! They knew a lot about the park, its inhabitants and plants. Loved the walk! Also amazing trails. Loved Guy Fleming overlook with whale and dolphin watching spot, and beach trail which leads to the beautiful beach!!
Torrey Pines is an amazing place! The views are stunning, and you can see all sorts of animals like coyotes, rabbits, and lots of birds. The beach is beautiful, and lifeguards drive around in Jeeps. There's even a spot where paragliders and hang gliders practice. The park is home to the rare Torrey Pine tree and has been around since 1959. It's also cool to know that Native Americans used this land for centuries. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who loves nature and adventure!
This is a very pretty state park with hiking trails that lead up the beach. Great views. $15 to enter the park (on a week day) and park the car at the visitor center. Great place to stop on the way to San Diego or up to San Clemente
My goodness is Torrey Pines beautiful! Coming from the East Coast where the beaches are flat, the rock formation that outlines the divide between sea and land here blew my mind... This should most definitely be on your to-do list if you visit the area, and make sure you walk everything from the North end to the south end and all areas in between to take it all in, you won't be disappointed. I saw reviews about long lines and big crowds, however I took an Uber to the North parking area and then took an Uber from the South end so I didn't have to deal with the long lines and trying to find parking. I also visited on a weekday and didn't find the crowd to be overwhelming.
