Black's Beach
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...

OVERVIEW - LOCATION & EXPECTATIONS
Its really the only gay beach in San Diego and its nude, if you choose to be. Getting to it is similar to following a hidden treasure map. Look for Torrey Pines Gliderport. Its off hwy 5 at UCSD. Youll pass the glider port on an open bumpy dirt parking area. Go to the farthest Northern end and park. Youll see the small sign pointing to the trail. Its a "goat trail" along a steep cliff, which keeps the gawkers outs. The alternate easier route is to park at the glider port and take the path to the left of the Port. Then walk the beach North until you see naked sexy people You cant miss em. Theyll be just past the naked volleyball players. Pack sandals for the beach. But wear sneakers or similar grip shoes because of the narrow dirt cliff. Also, its an isolated beach. Going back up the cliff, or the side path of the Port, is a trek that you wont want to repeat twice. Bring plenty of water & some food. If youre there at sunset youll get to see a lot more. You might want to check the marine layer forecast. It can be sunny in Hillcrest, but cloudy at the beach. There are webcams at http://www.blacksbeach.org/
Trip #116 =)
Another great time @ Blacks. A must see location if visiting or living in San Diego. Two thumbs up from Michael Feels Good. Enjoy Yourself !
can t even start to decribe how i feel about this place!!!! my partner and i just came back from there today and it s probably the beach gay nudist beach i ve ever been on!!!! please make sure you wear shoes as the cliff is real hard core to dessant!!!! worth the effort though!!!! have fun!
Great HOT bodies and some other ones also!
The best way to find this beach is to ask a bartender or anyone at a bar, or go to their website. It's all about nudity and there is plenty of it there. As in all cases, just beware.
It's a Hike, But It's Worth It!
This is one great beach! I was not able to see the Black's Beach Bares, the clothing-optional volleyball players, but the mental image of them is really hot! A note on getting there: I entered Black's Beach by way of the Torrey Pines Gliderport and then hiked down the cliff. If you take this route, be sure to wear hiking boots for your safety. Pack your flip-flops or sandals or sneakers in your beach bag, but don't try going down the cliff wearing them. Once you get to the beach, the eye candy is everywhere! You're gonna love it!
