Here’s what you need to know to find possibly the most famous nude beach in America: Put “Torrey Pines Glider Port” into your mapping app of choice and follow the directions. When you get to the destination, you’ll drive up a small driveway and onto a dirt lot. Keep driving forward (North) — it’s further than you think. Park at the northern-most section of the lot and make your way to the edge of the cliff. If you see a sign that says “danger”, you...

Three trails: beginner, intermediate, and gay (advanced)
Once you arrive at the Torrey Pines gliderport, you've reached the main (intermediate) trail. It's the easiest to hike down (none are easy to hike up, so be sure you're prepared for a workout on the way back), but it also drops you in the middle of the straight section of Blacks Beach. Like many nude beaches, mostly nude men who aren't in shape run around naked, but a few hot guys (and even fewer women) can be seen as well. Many more guys are found in the gay section about a half mile north. It can be reached directly from the advanced trail, which is merely a dirt path at the north end of the parking lot north of the gliderport. This trail is even harder to climb back up, without the assistance of ropes, railroad tie steps, etc. that are found on the main trail. The beginner route is accessed by taking Torrey Pines about a half mile south of the gliderport entrance to La Jolla Farms road, follow the signs instructing where you can or cannot park, then walk to the entrance where a paved path winds down to the beach for easy access (but you'll need to hike over a mile to reach the gay part of the beach up north). Due to the hike, this is an exclusive area that not everyone visits, but it's worth the effort if you like sun, sand, and a semi-naked environment (just stay out of the bushes; it's illegal.)
No Reviews About Sandy Hook NJ
They call this beach a clothing optional beach I would say 65% nudity and 35 % clothing Even I put my swim trunks back on at times I did not get burned until the end my feet got hit the hardest. I hardly got any suntan or burn in frontal portion of my body. I wish there was review about this beach It is controlled by the Federal government which is the Department of Interior I feel this beach needs a review It is a really nice beach on the North East Coast Not many clothing optional beaches on the East Coast.
Good any time of year
This is a great beach anytime of year. I have been there in summer or winter. Water is coldish, but not too cold to swim in in January I think. Stay out of the dunes. I was there a few years back and was warned about it and saw people getting dragged off by under cover cops. Very rude scene that way, but the beach is great other than a little kelp in the water. Torry Pines ia a good way to get there if you like a little hiking, check the tides though as it can be hard to get around a point of rocks if it is in and at a high level. From the hang gliding cliffs at La Jolla is faster but its a bit gamy getting down and back up that steep cliff. Great place to lay out and get some sun though as its not too hot and you don't have to get in the cool water if you don't want to get wet or cool off.
cheeky SoCal
It's difficult to find because it's not on a map but ask the locals how to get there and you won't regret it. Lots of hot men struting there nakedness for all to see in the "gay section" of the beach.
