Hooves,

I get your drift, and I wanna go up to see what it's all about and I'm sure I'll appreciate the splendor and the view.

But that said, I know I'm darned happy roaming the paddock and the trackside fences, too.

Make reservations in LaJolla up the road a bit at THE BEACH HOUSE right on the Pacific Ocean at sunset.

When I was trainer for USA Basketball in 1992, we stayed at the Torrey Pines Hilton and this was a favorite of all the Dream Team players and coaches...great seafood and steaks.

Nothing like it!!!

As A Long Time San Diego Resident I Would Suggest Hanging Around The Blacktop Area Of The Track With The Locals. Im Headed There Next Week Myself And Cant Wait To Hit Robertos Tacos About 10 Min Up The 5 Freeway. Good Food Cheap And Good Hot Sauce. The Track Food Is Not Cheap So Bring A Wad And Hope The Longshots Are Hitting On That Day. Great Track To Check Out Babes So Bring Your Sunglasses With Your Wife Along! Good Luck.

Storm Cadet,

Last time I was in La Jolla I climbed down the rickety steps and cliff to Black's Beach. It was either go down the steps, or walk in half a mile with the cooler.

I was touted to go there.

Nude beach, I was told.

It was 95% guys, when I arrived.

("not that there's anything wrong with that.....".......with a nod to "Seinfeld.")

But, if we make it back to La Jolla on this trip, I promise to check out your recommendation!

True story, walking back from Black's Beach on my first trip we didn't go back up the stairs, but walked the 1/2 mile to the State Park parking lot..

....and encountered a really nasty, angry and colorful SNAKE on the beach under the steps up to the paved parking lot.....

I used to raise snakes when I was a kid, so I wasn't too alarmed. I went in and got a ranger to handle the situation appropriately, and was thanked because the snake was poisonous.

That day made me a bit leary about going to La Jolla beaches in the future!

If You Like Snobs Then Stay In Del Mar And La Jolla And Yes Blacks Beach Is Full Of Dudes. Used To Be Good About 20 Years Ago. Now The Locals Stay Away! I Think The Fish Market Is A Great Seafood Place Right Near The Track And Very Inexpensive. Check It Out.
