Hiking in San Diego - Torrey Pines Hike
One of our favorite things to Do in San Diego is the Torrey Pines Hike at the Torrey Pines State Park ❤️
We really enjoy being in the nature especially at the beach and hiking is something we like as well. The Torrey Pines State Park combines both and we truely love it. Last week we hiked there twice and want to share our experience with you today!
Torrey Pines offers amazing views of the ocean while you hike at the beautiful coastline and you meet great people as well. Yesterday we met such a lovely lady who told us that she is participating in an adult painting course and she was painting a wonderful picture of the coast. She also gave us a great secret tip of another beautiful thing to do in San Diego! So be ready for my next post :)
Parking at Torrey Pines
We parked at the free parking direct at the beach and walked all the way up. It is really nice to walk in the sand along the beach for a little bit before starting the hike. It is so fun for us to watch the surfers catchings waves, the kids going buggyboarding and others just relaxing at the beach.
But if you don't want to walk so much, you can drive up and start from there! Unfortunately I don't know if they charge for parking there, but I do think so!
Torrey Pines Hike - Beauty of Nature
There are several trails and we enjoyed all of them. But my favorite trail was the beach trail which offers an incredible view of the blue ocean, the sandy trails and the green landscape. I wish I could bring all of you here to see it with your own eyes!
The hike is not very hard, especially if you would drive all the way up to the parking spots. We really love it and went there twice last week!

San Diego
San Diego is one of my favorite places to be during the summer. The days are long and warm and the water is always the perfect temperature. The food in San Diego is delicious and whether you order nachos at a sports bar or a steak at Ruth’s Chris, this place goes all out. The beaches here are incredible and hot spot for locals and tourists alike so grab a towel and sunscreen and check out some of the best beaches in California.

Delicious Food in San Diego
- Oscars- Oscars is of my favorite hole in the wall restaurants in San Diego. The seafood is fresh so try the fish tacos. You wont regret it!
- The Crab Catcher: This place has a great location right next to La Jolla Cove. Try and get a seat by the window or in the outdoor patio for a view of the Cove. This place serves great seafood but if you’re not in the mood for fish order the pizza here, its great!
