Torrey Pines State Beach

My goal...go to every beach in San Diego. I'm waiting for my picnic basket to arrive first. ETA 3 weeks.

Torrey Pines is the beach between Del Mar and La Jolla. It costs $6 to park, doesn't have a whole lot of sand, but it's got that multi colored water reminiscent of tropical areas. I saw a baby shark in the water, or at least a foot long fish that looked like a baby shark! I went on a Thursday afternoon and the beach was absolutely packed with children learning to surf. A fair number of people simply walk to the beach, lucky persons who live in Del Mar.

The beach, packed!
