[edit] Distance

Back in the later '90s, I used to live up in Vista, Ca. I rode the bus down the coastal highway to Torrey Pines beach, got off, walked to the end of that beach, continued around a tight cliff trail, walked all the way down Black's Beach, and ended up down in La Jolla public beach. Thank God I took some water with me. I wanted to see if what I heard was true. Yes, it was a nude beach. To my dismay, though, 99% of the people there that were nude were men. Don't stop, keep walking, keep walking. The only way out was to 1. turn around and walk the distance back to where I started, 2. go up the goat trails towards Torrey Pines cliffs, and I do mean goat trails, or 3. continue down to La Jolla. By the time I got down to La Jolla, I thought I was going to die. It took a few hours for the travel, but ended up in one piece. I probably would have gotten down there faster if I was more on solid ground. The only two styles of ground to walk on was either dry sand or wet sand. My question, though, is what is the approx. distance from Torrey Pines beach down to La Jolla beach. I tried to measure it using the San Diego road atlas book, but did not get an acurate distance. Anyone who can help me out with this, I would really appreciate. Thanks158.35.225.230 14:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

It is not really a 'de facto nude beach' any longer. I have seen two naked persons in all of many trips, it would better be described as a place where drum circles (rainbow family) met until recently and a place where kids get drunk. Also, the surf is great but not as godly as the article would suggest.
