Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

Ever wanted to see a famous Torrey Pine in its natural state? Well there are just a few areas that is possible. This beautiful tree grows in the La Jolla area of San Diego and on Santa Rosa Island in the Channel Islands. Luckily the state of California has protected some of the last available habitat for this rare species. The place to go is Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve which has 1500 acres and miles of hiking trails. One of the trails leads down to Flat Rock Beach a wonderful beach that is away from the crowds. The high viewpoints on the bluff are excellent places to spot migrating gray whales from mid-December through March. The visitor center is helpful for first time visitors and has nice exhibits too.
