San Diego Outdoors:
Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve
@alexdeanmedia
Best hike: Torrey Pines Beach Trail Loop
Easy rated trail that lets you take a loop of the entire area. Other trails branch off of here, so you can make it last even longer if you'd like to add on some miles!
Some fun trails to add on: Red Ridge Trail, Razor Point, Parry Grove, etc.

Torrey Pines State Beach
@alexdeanmedia
Whether or not you're out hiking, be sure to check out the beach while you're here! The non-gated off street parking will be cheaper (or free?) than parking within the Natural Reserve parking lot.

Sunset Cliffs Natural Park
@alexdeanmedia
• Sunset Cliffs Trail
Pro tip: want to find the staircase pictures on my social channels? Head to the intersection of Sunset Cliffs Blvd and Ladera St. Park as close as you can, but it'll be very busy!
Tip #2: IF the tides are low enough, you can even walk into a cave below the cliffs. We walked past this cave, as it's fenced off from above for obvious safety reasons. There are a few ways down, but do NOT attempt without checking tide charts. It's recommended for the tide to be in the negatives in order for it to be safe to go here. We did not get lucky last time around, but hoping for next time!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hey friends! Welcome to my page for guides and recommendations. I specialize in "travel for the weirdos." Have you ever had that feeling of not fitting in? Ever been 'too much' of something or another, but not enough of something else? Well, me too. I understand, and I make guides for people just like us. I'm here to show off all of the unique and niche finds throughout this travel journey! From 90s themed AirBnbs to the world's largest bison statue and everything far and in between, I'll cover all the weird things we love.
I'm a travel photographer and content creator based out of Las Vegas, NV. Recently moved back to my hometown of Vegas after growing up and spending years in Montana, just outside of Yellowstone National Park. Come explore the Southwest and around the world with me!
I frequently do group travel with EF Ultimate Break and am able to offer various discount codes, all linked in my EFUB guides and in my website link! Feel free to reach out anytime with questions. My socials are all @alexdeanmedia, and my DMs are always open for fellow travelers. <3
