Parking at Torrey Pines Gliderport
When you will be traveling to San Diego and would love to have a memorable evening, spend some time during the golden hour at cliffs of La Jolla. By far, watching para-gliders at Torrey Pines has been one of the most memorable experience while exploring California.

Did I mention that it is absolutely FREE to go an watch these craftsmen take on the nature while surfing the winds off the Pacific Ocean. The unique geographical features of the Torrey Pines cliffs hanging over the Black beach create enough uplift force for the gliders to safely take off and zoom along the coast for a few minutes.

You have every chance to take part in the life changing endeavor. You can take off and safely fly in San Diego with an instructor directing the flight.
Conveniently located, a stone throws away is the parking for the paragliding :

By far one of my favorite places in all of California – Torrey Pines Gliderport! You can have one in a life time experience while tandem gliding with one of the instructors.

Just watching them zoom left and right past the cozy cafe at the hilltop is spectacular enough. Getting out of your comfort zone and actually take off down and up toward the Pacific Ocean can be a pretty exhilarating.
Come down for thrills, great views, awesome selfies and generally good time. It’s a perfect place for a date or spend an evening. The sunsets at Torrey Pines Gliderport are simply amazing. Seriously – this is one of the best photo opportunites you’ll have not just in SoCal but probably on the entire West Coast.

On the way to San Diego there’s a bazillion fasicnating places to visit and Torrey Pines Gliderport is definitely one of them. You can hike on the bluffs go surfing in the nearby towns, or even go tandem paragliding! I won’t say much more about this hike, because it is THAT good. You should really give it a try if your boredom level is at all time high.
