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’re in the right place. The path down is not for the faint of heart, but with a good pair of tennis shoes and some determination, you’ll make it down to the sand. Hang a right and walk north, that’s where the gays congregate. On a warm weekend day (or any day in the Summer) you can expect to find all types relaxing on the shore--from see-and-be-seen speedo clad queens to gay surfers in board shorts. And of course, there are those who prefer to wear nothing at all. Bring a boogie board and keep an eye out for dolphins; they're known to get mighty close to the shore, especially when ocean temperatures rise. And please, take your trash with you!
