Del Mar recommendations?

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.
