Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

Named for the indigenous and rare Torrey pine tree, this 2,000-acre reserve of canyons and cliffs offers countless trails lined with wild flowers and chaparral, miles of unspoiled beaches and a lagoon that is vital to migrating seabirds. The ¾-mile Beach Trail meanders through the upper reserve before ending at the beach below. The relatively easy 2/3-mile Guy Fleming Trail offers two scenic overlooks with a variety of wildflowers, ferns and cacti along the way.
