The Best Beaches in San Diego
"It's notoriously hard to get to, involving either a treacherous climb down unstable cliffs on a trail known for accidents or a two-mile hike south from Torrey Pines State Beach (which is inaccessible at high tide). While Black Beach may be difficult to reach, the remoteness is one of the reasons that people love it. That and because it's one of the only nude beaches in San Diego County (but clothing is only optional in the north section of the beach)."

"Why go: To surf or enjoy some quiet (note that some people still go nude here). Black’s Beach is a secluded section of beach beneath the bluffs of Torrey Pines, and is officially part of Torrey Pines State Beach. Black’s Beach is perhaps most notorious for its status as San Diego’s only nude beach, though that’s no longer allowed in the more southern portion managed by the City of San Diego."

Where to Eat and Drink in San Diego’s Convoy District
"The name says it all at this spot, where mala, the addictive tingling, numbing sensation achieved by the combination of chilis and Sichuan peppercorns, permeates the menu. You’ll find a dizzying array of dishes—ma po tofu, a traditional Sichuan dish, is wonderful, and preserved chili dishes will more than satisfy the most blasé chiliheads, and even simple vegetables like stir-fried long beans will have your palate popping. There’s usually a handwritten list of specials near the door that you’ll want to check out as well.How to order: Order online, in person or call 858-278-1818 for takeout, or delivery via Chowbus."
