Black's Beach — Gay Section
No reviews yet
2800 Torrey Pines Scenic Dr, San Diego, CA, California, 92037, United States
The northern, state-park portion of Black's Beach below the Torrey Pines bluffs is one of America's premier gay nude beaches. Wikipedia and San Diego gay guides place the LGBTQ+ crowd on the northern clothing-optional section reached by hiking north from the Torrey Pines Gliderport stairs (about 15 minutes) or walking south from Torrey Pines State Beach at low tide. Dramatic cliffs, hang gliders overhead, year-round sun. The city-owned southern section prohibits nudity — stay north of the boundary markers. Steep access and no lifeguards at the gliderport route.
Getting there
Hike north from the Torrey Pines Gliderport stairs, about fifteen minutes down, or walk south from Torrey Pines State Beach at low tide. The gay nude section is the northern, state-park portion.
When it's active
Year-round sun, busiest when the access is not a mud slope. There is no lifeguard on the gliderport route.
What to know
The city-owned beach to the south prohibits nudity. Stay north of the boundary markers. The climb back up is the part people underestimate.
