Black's Beach

Black's Beach is a well-known clothing-optional beach situated in San Diego, California. The beach is popular for activities such as surfing, paragliding, beach walking, and sunbathing without tan lines.

It is a combination of Torrey Pines City Beach and Torrey Pines State Beach, stretching from Torrey Pines Golf Course to Scripps Beach. Access to the beach can be challenging due to a steep and slippery trail from the glider port parking area, but visitors can also use a long paved path or an adventurous hiking trail.

The clothing-optional section is clearly defined to avoid issues with the nude beach status. It is recommended that visitors stay back from the bluffs due to rock falls and recent bluff collapses. Torrey Pines State Park has two easier access points at North Beach and South Beach.
