| Black's Beach in La Jolla, CA |
|||||||||||
| Directions |
|||||||||||
| Option 1: Parking is available at the Glider Port above Black's Beach, but the only access to the beach is via unimproved natural paths which can be very hazardous. Take great care to avoid false trails. False trails may cause a person to become precariously stuck on side of the cliff or can result in serious injury or death if one falls. But this is the quickest way to Black's, if you are not in decent physical shape, I would not take this path. |

| Option 2: This is a neighborhood with street parking that has access to a path that you can walk down. The path leads to the south side of the beach (where the surfers are). It is a 2 mile walk, but this is the safest way to get there. Park you care near the on the map. There is a 2nd map at the bottom of this page that has a close up of the intersection where there is a path to take down to the beach. |

| Option 3: From the north, take Interstate 5 south to Carmel Valley Road. West on Carmel Valley Road to Pacific Coast Highway. South on Pacific Coast Highway to Torrey Pines State Beach.

Walk south from this lot approximately one mile using caution regarding the unstable cliffs above and tidal conditions which may obstruct passage. |

| Option 4: From the south, take Interstate 5 north to La Jolla Parkway.
