4 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •
On an anniversary vacation to San Diego, my wife and I decided to take a beach hike in Torrey Pines State Park. Near the world famous golf course we parked and took a use path along a ridge overlooking multi-million dollar homes to a very steep set of stairs almost 400 feet down to the beach and ocean below.
We watched sand pipers scurry on the sand, saw paragliders soaring over our heads, spotted sea lions and dolphins off the shore, and nude joggers(!) strode along the beach. Very peaceful beach scenes and perfect weather in January.
