Torrey Pines State Beach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torrey Pines State Beach is a coastal beach located in the San Diego, California community of La Jolla, California south of Del Mar and north of Black's Beach. Coastal erosion from the adjacent Torrey Pines State Reserve makes for a picturesque landscape. It is a local favorite among surfers and remains a quintessential Southern California beach. The beach is at the bottom of 300 foot sandstone cliffs of white and golden stone, with a greenish layer sometimes visible at the very bottom. At the north end of the beach the cliffs ends and Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, a salt marsh, empties into the ocean. A county highway crosses the entrance, with limited free parking along the beach.
