I've been hiking at Torrey Pines for more than 40 years and love every trail. They're all great!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

We totally agree! We have a great time every time we go there. :)

[@hungrybear2161]

How long is the quickest route to the water? With a toddler.

[@CLaFong]

You should park at the top of the mesa at Torrey Pines Golf course or the surrounding streets. The parking is free and you avoid the climb up.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

We haven't tried that before, but we will next time! Thanks for the tip!

[@jckiddone]

Great video! ❤ Thank you! 🙏

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@jckiddone thank you! Glad you liked it! 😎🤙

[@jenniferschnieder6316]

Great video about hiking at Torrey Pines State Beach/Reserve. We enjoyed these hikes during our 43 years in San Diego. Keep up the good work. Thank you!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Thank you so much Jennifer! Hopefully we could bring back some fond memories of your time there 😎🤙

[@christophersantrizos1657]

Oh wow! Looks like a good walk.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

It is! Some of those hills are butt kickers!

[@MrVindler]

I loved going there as a kid. Fat Man's Misery was my favorite hike.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

It's such a neat and diverse spot! ♥️

[@cliffalindog2547]

Thank you so much for this informative video My fam and I are looking to visit my cousin in San Diego and would like to check out some nearby national parks and this came up.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Hey Cliff! We hope you have a great trip! This is definitely a nice spot to spend a day, get some exercise and enjoy the beach! Glad we could help! 😎🤙

[@cuentosmagicosCL]

This is the best info video. very well explained

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@cuentosmagicosCL so glad to help! 😎🤙

Blacks trail at gliderport is phenomenal!! Been hiking that since 2008!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

We will be sure to hit that one next time we are in the area! 😎🤙

[@fireside007]

🇺🇸 YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🤛 🇺🇸

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Thank you! We think that you are pretty awesome as well! 😎🤙

[@geovani_marketing]

interesting. I saw no runners during your hike

[@LiveThatAdventure]

They are always out there. Must have just not caught any on video 😎

[@jacobs4985]

Sorry for a weird question, but is there any bathroom in the hiking trail?

[@LiveThatAdventure]

No worries! I believe there are some at the lower parking lot and port o potties up at the top. There might be some at the visitors center as well

[@sergioivan15]

How much the parking cost, great video btw

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed the video! There is either free street parking, or you can park inside the reserve for $12-$25 per vehicle.

[@runnin_myles8098]

Can you bring dogs on the loop

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Hi, dogs are not allowed anywhere within the reserve and beach boundaries to protect the wildlife there.

[@Charles53412]

is Black's Beach still a nude beach?

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@Charles53412 I do believe so.

[@Charles53412]

@@LiveThatAdventure I was curious, due to the fact I haven't lived there since the mid 70's. I swam at the State Beach all the time. It was know for being one back then. Torrey Pines, Carlsbad and Oceanside were my hang out locations. It is sad to see it's all been over taken by development though!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@Charles53412 yes it is. Luckily Torrey pines is a reserve, so it doesn't seem like there will be any development on that portion of the beach which is good! 😎🤙

[@Charles53412]

@@LiveThatAdventure Yes that is a very good thing!

[@impmoviechannel3052]

I went to this beach every Sunday for 25 years. This video confused the hell out of me with this trail and that trail, this and that parking lot, loops, this many miles. I've taken everyone from toddlers to seniors there and somehow, we managed to get there and back without incident. The things that I think people need to know most are: there are no public bathrooms, there isn't anywhere to buy food or water (lifeguards driving by will harass you for public drinking and glass bottles), there's no trash bins, and Black's Beach isn't only "clothing optional", it's more like EVERYONE is naked, in a way unlike anywhere else. If you are up tight, don't go. This isn't your usual public beach like in Orange County. If you think you are going to throw on a bikini and lounge around to be seen, have a drinking party, you're in the wrong place. This is more like athletic camping.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

We're glad you've been enjoying Torrey Pines beaches for 25 years. However, this video is mainly about the Torrey Pines State Reserve as a whole, which includes all the hiking trails that it has to offer in addition to the beach. Also, Black Beach is not part of the reserve. It is a ways down the coastline.

Can I bring my dog

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Unfortunately no dogs are allowed in the reserve

[@runnin_myles8098]

@@LiveThatAdventure why is it that san diego is do against dogs on trails

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@runnin_myles8098 I'm not sure. Here it is probably to not scare all the wildlife in the reserve or something like that.

You seem to be stalking a young lady most of the day? Ha
