Torrey Pines State Beach offers two parking lots with beach access: the North Beach lot (off Carmel Valley Road) with demand-based day-use fees ($10-$25) and the South Beach lot (off N.

Torrey Pines Road) with similar fees, both featuring restrooms, showers, and picnic facilities. The beach stretches 4.

5 miles with swimming, surfing, and fishing opportunities, though visitors should be aware that dogs are prohibited and the area can get crowded during peak summer hours (10 a. m. to 1 p. m. ).

A free beach wheelchair is available at the North Beach lot for accessibility, and lifeguards are staffed year-round at the north end.
