Torrey Pines

Hiking Tips & Information

Torrey Pines is an easy to moderate hiking trail that is a total of about 5 miles. It will typically take up to 2 hours to complete (depending on where you park). There is a parking lot at the bottom of the park entrance near the beach which has a $15 fee to park for the day. I highly recommend getting to the park early to beat the traffic and over-crowded trails.

You will get a great active workout in amongst beautiful nature and ocean views. There are plenty of food and drink options in the area but I definitely really enjoyed the post-hike drink at Elixir juice bar and the afternoon lunch at Flower Child in the Flower Hill Promenade.
