Blacks Beach
Blacks Beach, also called Black's Beach, is a sandy beach below the Torrey Pines cliffs, on the Pacific Ocean, in La Jolla, within the city of San Diego. Access is listed as permitted. The beach is officially attached to Torrey Pines State Beach. The north is owned and managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, while the south, known as Torrey Pines City Beach, is managed by the city of San Diego together with the state park. This distinction matters because the beach is known for naturism, a practice now prohibited in the southern section managed by the city. Torrey Pines City Beach is 0.1 km away and La Jolla Cove 3.5 km away.
About this spot
Blacks Beach stands out for its below-cliff setting and shared management, which affects uses. Before choosing this spot, keep mainly the permitted access, the sand, proximity to La Jolla and the difference between the northern and southern sections.
