Go down the long stairway to the beach, then walk north to Boneyard at low tide. Visits at high tide are unsafe because of the surf and big boulders. Maybe that's why law enforcers usually leave this isolated spot alone. If you want sand, try Black's or San Onofre. America's most popular nude beach is in ideal shape this year.
Crowds are already on the increase.
Even on Valentine's Day, San Jose's Rich Pasco found several hundred visitors. On a warm day in April 5,000 people showed up, compared to just a few hundred on a Saturday in May 1998. In 1998, one summer day's attendance topped 13,000, which still left 3,000 spaces available in the free parking lot at the Torrey Pines Glider Port on the cliffs. The beach comprises two properties, a city beach and a state beach that come together at the bottom of the trail. Rangers on both beaches used to tolerate nudies.
