Where you'll be

We'll be at the Torrey Pines Gliderport, a truly unique City Park next to the famous Blacks Beach. It offers the best view of both the cliffs and the coastline of La Jolla. The area has free parking, is wheelchair accessible, and has a great off-the-grid cafe! On a good day you can see paragliders soar along the coast, and spot dolphins and whales go by. Drive through the parking lot and walk to the grassy hill over the cliffs.
