Best Beach in La Mesa

"This two-mile strip of secluded beach below the cliffs of the Torrey Pines Gliderport (adjacent to the UC San Diego campus immediately south of Torrey Pines State Beach) is known for two things: (i) nude beach, and (ii) surfing. The beach is named for the Black family, who formerly owned a farm on the cliffs above. They later sold the farm, and it was developed into the expensive residential homes of La Jolla Farms."

"A beautiful section of beach south of Torrey Pines and located in the northern part of La Jolla, this beach is known as a de facto nude beach. Popular with nudists and naturalists, this beach is one of the last nude beaches in the state. Do not venture to the south side of the beach unless you are prepared to see more than just marine life in its natural state."

"The southern section of Black’s Beach, also known as Torrey Pines City Beach, is accessible through a gate at the intersection of Blackgold Road and La Jolla Farms Road."

"Wipeout Beach is located on the 700 block of Coast Blvd., and is a sandy stretch of beach just south of South Casa Beach and the Children’s Pool. It’s a great spot for sunbathing, but again isn’t recommended for inexperienced swimmers because of the rip current. Low tide is probably the best time to visit this spot, as there’s more sand to walk along and you’ll be able to see a few shallower exposed tide pools."

"Swimming:Yes, but the Current Can Be Rough Surfing: NoBoogie Boarding: Not the Best SpotBest For: Walking the Beach At Low Tide. This is the largest beach in downtown La Jolla. Stairs lead from the walkway down to the top of a set of rocks, and from there you hop right down to the sand."

"Wipeout Beach can be found just south of Children’s Pool Beach. It also runs along Coast Boulevard. It’s definitely among the best beach spots in La Jolla, just for its views alone."

"Tide Beach Park is located approximately 1/2 mile north of Fletcher Cove at Solana Vista and Highway 101. The beach itself is primarily known for its large reef, or “Table Tops,” and its San Diego tide pools. Lifeguards are on duty there during the summer months."

Order at the counter and then grab a table inside or out on one of their sidewalk tables. They are known for delicious house made pastries but also feature a full breakfast menu."
