"Navigate to the Torrey Pines Reserve Lodge and Visitor Center. Parking is provided at the Visitor Center. You'll have to pay ~$15 admission fee to enter the park. The views are quite worth it though - I recommend the Beach Trail, which goes all the way down to the beach at the bottom of the cliffs. It's much quieter than most beaches and provides plenty of space to explore. On your way back up, you'll want to see Red Butte, Razor Point, and the many overlooks that the park provides. Luckily, with Google Maps, AllTrails, and park directions, it's hard to get lost in the park. There's an example AllTrails route in the links."
"Why: The cliffs here are gorgeous and you get access to the beach. It's common to see paragliders here. Length: It depends on which trail you choose. Popular: Torrey Pines Beach Loop (2.3 mi), Gliderport & Black's Beach (4.5 mi), Guy Fleming (0.8 mi) Parking: It depends which trail you go to Best Time to Go: All year round Google Maps: Here are my two favorite spots: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RcCf5TxK8BpUYbEr7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZZtVxmKHnuxSCN2o6 "

"There are multiple trail options here! Parking is either free on the street or you can pay to park in the parking lot at the bottom or even the top of the hill for $20. My personal favorite is the beach trail but your kids need to be able to walk down steep steps for this one. It starts at the top of Torrey Pines and ends on the beach. "

60% OFF - Full Price $30 A comprehensive guide to hosting a final fling in San Diego for the outdoorsy bride. I am a California native turned San Diego-based travel & lifestyle blogger. I'm super passionate about creating content that shows people how to make the most of life in America's Finest City. As an avid lover of tidepools, brunch, and rooftop drinks, I created this guide for my fellow brides and bridesmaids. We all know that planning the bachelorette party is one of the hardest parts of the whole wedding - coordinating schedules, agreeing on where to eat - all of that! So I've made it as easy as can be with this one-stop shop for the outdoorsy bride! This guide is for the outdoorsy bride who wants to have a blast with her best gals outside in sunny San Diego. Highlights of this guide include: ⛵️ A private sailboat experience 🥾 Fun hike options 🍷 A winery 🧘‍♀️ Small group yoga class 🦒 Unique group tours It also includes options for accommodation, dining, activities, cocktails, wine/beer, & more! San Diego county is over 4,000 square miles - there's lots of ground to cover & public transportation isn't great. This guide will help you centralize your home base, activities, food, and everything else! When to do this trip: San Diego is beautiful any time of year. If the wedding timeline permits, I recommend trying to plan this trip during the "slow season" which is mid-January through March. Everything will be much more affordable and there won't be as many summer tourists in town.
