Black's Beach — North End (Cruising)

Very fun and beautiful beach with nude part. Wild hills are amazingly pretty, untouched

Black’s Beach is unlike any other beach I’ve visited. If you’re looking for wide-open space, beautiful scenery, and a peaceful atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth experiencing. The beach is enormous. Even on busier days, it rarely feels crowded because there’s so much room. You’ll see other people in the distance, but everyone has plenty of personal space, making it feel surprisingly private and relaxing. One thing to know before you go: getting down to the beach requires a fairly long and steep hike, and the climb back up is definitely a workout. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for the effort—it’s worth it once you reach the sand. This is also a clothing-optional beach, so don’t be surprised to see nude visitors. That’s simply part of the beach’s culture. You’ll encounter all kinds of people—young adults, older visitors, couples, solo beachgoers—and everyone is generally respectful and there to enjoy the beach in their own way. The natural beauty here is incredible. Massive cliffs, endless sand, and the feeling of being far away from the crowds make this one of the most unique beaches in Southern California. If you appreciate nature, privacy, and don’t mind the hike—or the clothing-optional environment—Black’s Beach is an unforgettable place that I highly recommend.

My favorite place for 40 years

Great beach, love that I finally got the chance to be nude for once! Note for the newbies - after taking the paragliding trail down left side is for the gay busiest, and the right side is for the general population. Note that this is a clothing optional beach. So not everyone is nude. I left one star off solely because the hike to go up/down is terrible. Make sure you bring a water!

One of the loveliest clothing optional beaches I've gotten to visit.I need to be there more often. I highly recommend it though, it's hard to get down and up the hill, but it's worth it. Lulu sends you with my highest recommendation.

Warm and welcoming, we felt comfortable, and when the sun goes down it gives off such a gorgeous scenic vibe. With or without your cloths on......

my favorite beach in La Jolla hands down. Great invigorating hike up and down. Clean.
