BLACK'S BEACH

From: richard@West.Sun.COM (Richard M. Mathews)

  BLACK'S BEACH is in San Diego between Del Mar and La Jolla.  It lies just
  south of Torrey Pines State Beach.  The beach is located at the bottom
  of tall cliffs where hang gliders and remote control model airplanes
  are flown.  No problems with police.  Lifeguards occasionally pass by
  and are quite friendly.  The body surfing at Black's is great.  For
  information, contact

  There are three ways to get there: hike in from Torrey Pines State
  Beach; park at the glider port just off of Genesee Blvd and hike down
  the cliff; or park by the University, hike through the La Jolla Farms
  housing development (public streets), down the blacktop road to the beach,
  and then north to Black's.  The hike down the cliff is the shortest.

  To get to the glider port entrance, take Interstate 5 to the Genesee exit
  (just south of the I-805 junction at the north end of San Diego).  Head
  west towards the ocean.  Go straight at the light at the top of the hill
  (onto North Torrey Pines Rd.), and make the first right after the big
  arcing turn to the left.  There are signs at the corner referring to
  Salk Institute and to the glider landing area.  Go all the way to the
  end to the large dirt parking lot which also serves the glider port.
  Find a spot to park and walk towards the cliffs.  Take the well used
  path (known as Steve's trail) at the far end of the parking lot down
  the hill.  There are a few other trails, but they are dangerous.

  Bring water and any other supplies you need for the day, but not more
  than what you want to carry down the cliff.
