Black's Beach

Black's Beach

Black's Beach is a beach in La Jolla, San Diego, California. Portions of the beach lie under city property and other parts lie in the zone of a state park, where nudity is legal, It is perhaps the largest nude beach in the United States and is popular with many Southern Californian nudists and naturists. It is situated north of downtown La Jolla and south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. Access is available from La Jolla, Torrey Pines State Reserve, or via trails down the cliffside by the historic Torrey Pines Gliderport near the Salk Institute. Part of Black's Beach is within the State Park, and part within the City of San Diego. Nudity is prohibited on the city portion of the beach, [cite web

A volunteer group called the "Black's Beach Bares" helps to keep the beach clean, safe, and maintained. They also host events and picnics through the summer at the beach. They are affiliated with The Naturist Society and the "Las Vegas Bares".

Black's Beach is known to surfers as one of the most powerful beach breaks in Southern California. The waves gain the power due to the focusing effects of an underwater canyon just offshore. Because of the large surf and aggressive crowds, Black's is a dangerous surfing location.
