Black's Beach - Location

Location

Black’s Beach is located about three miles north of the popular La Jolla Shores beach in La Jolla, San Diego, California, below the bluffs of Torrey Pines, which extend up to 300-foot (91 m) above the sandy beach. On the bluffs above Black’s Beach are the Torrey Pines Gliderport, Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Torrey Pines State Reserve. To the north of Black’s Beach lies the rest of Torrey Pines State Beach, which altogether stretches 4.5-mile (7.2 km) from Del Mar, California, past the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon toward Scripps Beach in the south. The beach is near the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of California, San Diego. Many students walk from the UCSD to Black's for sunbathing and surfing.
