Check the closing time if you do the hike later in the day. The closing time changes over the year.

The hike hits all of the overlooks in Torrey Pines Park, then heads down to the beach. From the beach, it climbs back up and to the trailhead.

There are gates at the entrance. The opening time is listed as 715am but I’ve seen the gates open earlier. If they’re closed, just park in the free parking lot right before the gate and wait for them to open.

To park, drive up past the entrance gate, go up the hill, and enter the first parking area on your right, just past the visitors center on the left.
