 Torrey Pines SB
State Beach
 State beaches are areas with frontage on the ocean, or bays designed to provide swimming, boating, fishing, and other beach-oriented recreational activities. This wide, sandy beach stretches 4 1/2 miles from Del Mar past Los Peñasquitos Lagoon to the base of sandstone cliffs at Torrey Pines Mesa. Swimming, surfing and fishing are popular. Red-hued bluffs and wet sand make strolling on the beach popular at low tide. A picnic area and parking lot are near the entrance on North Torrey Pines Road. The beach can also be reached by trail from the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Torrey Pines prohibits dogs anywhere within the reserve and beach boundaries (even within a vehicle). Service Reductions California State Parks is implementing service reductions in order to meet Department budget cuts this fiscal year. Service reductions implemented Fall 2009 through Summer 2010 include one-half of the restrooms at the beach will be closed through March 2010, trash cans removed from the beach and replaced with a central dumpster near the restroom, overall facility maintenance reduced 50%, day-use parking by automatic pay machine only (no staff at entrance stations), and reduced lifeguard service from October 2009 through March 2010. Visitors are encouraged to 'Pack it in, Pack it out', so the beach remains free of trash. These service reductions are designed to ensure that California State Parks achieve cost savings, minimize disruption to visitors as much as possible, and maintain revenue at the highest level possible. Location-Directions The Beach is located one mile south of Del Mar on North Torrey Pines Road.
