"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."

"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. "
