Torrey Pines Hike Guide

Stay on the official trails. The area is extremely fragile and if a ranger or volunteer sees you off the trail, there is a steep fine.

From the parking lot head through the trail signs to start the hike. During the day there are volunteers here to answer questions.

The loop starts at the main parking lot, heads out to Razor Point, drops down to the beach, then climbs back up past Broken Hill Overlook before returning on the old Pacific Coast Highway.

Check the closing time if you do the hike later in the day. The closing time changes over the year.

There are gates at the entrance. The opening time is listed as 7:15am but I’ve seen the gates open earlier. If they’re closed, just park in the free parking lot right before the gate and wait for them to open.

To park, drive up past the entrance gate, go up the hill, and enter the first parking area on your right, just past the Visitor’s Center on the left.

The hike meanders down to the ocean, then climbs back up to Torrey Pines Park Rd.

The hike hits all of the overlooks in Torrey Pines Park, then heads down to the beach. From the beach, it climbs back up and to the trailhead.
