The access route down from the large glider port parking area is quite steep and slippery in places. There is another access further south at the intersection of Blackgold and La Jolla Farms Roads where a long paved path leads down to an area known as South Blacks Beach. The north boundary is Mussel Rocks where large rocks extend into the water and the south boundary is about yards south of the main access trail. See details. Locals, students and UCSC staff […].

It is officially part of Torrey Pines State Beach. The northern portion of Black's Beach is owned and managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation , while the southern portion of the beach, officially known as Torrey Pines City Beach, is jointly owned by the city of San Diego and the state park, but is managed by the city of San Diego. Black's Beach was named for the Black family who had a horse ranch overlooking the beach. They sold the land, and then it was subdivided into La Jolla Farms lots. The Farms' residents retained the Black family's private road to the beach.

It is named after the Blacks family, who once owned a horse farm on the cliffs overlooking the beach. The northern territory is owned by the state park while the southern portion is owned by the city. The powerful waves are due to the Scripps Canyon, an underwater submarine canyon , which funnels the waves toward the shore.

Black's Beach is at the base of foot-high sandstone cliffs. It's two miles long and as wide as 60 feet at low tide. As many as 1, people may show up at Black's Beach on a hot summer day. Nudity bans are enforced on the south end of Black's Beach, in the city-owned section and possibly in the clothed part of Torrey Pines State Beach. If you visit, help keep Black's open for nude recreation by respecting the boundary signs and covering up if you're going beyond them.
