Right across the street from Casa Surfside (less than a five minute walk) is one of North County’s most popular beaches among locals and surfers. Every morning you can see four or five dozen surfers catching the waves. Another popular spot on the same beach is Tower 27 which can be accessed with the wooden stairs located in the camp ground. The stairs are open to the public. During the winter months, you will find many smooth rocks on the beach which seems to disappear during the warmer months. Whether its an early morning walk or sitting on the bench on the wooden stairs admiring the sunset, this semi secluded beach is one of our favorites!

Torrey Pines State Beach and Park is divided into two sections. A park with eight miles of trails that features the unique torrey pine tree is one of the wildest areas in the state. The other section is the beach itself, which is located three hundred feet below the park.
It is popular among families and features fine white sand, bathroom facilities, and lifeguards. The kids love the northern lagoon part of the beach where they can spend hours splashing and exploring.
There are no restaurants here, so if you are planning to spend a day on the beach, pack some food and refreshing drinks. You will find plenty of parking spots along the busy approach road.
