On our first day in San Diego, we rented a car and headed up to Torrey Pines State Reserve. Although the weather report said that it was to be sunny and clear both Saturday and Sunday, God decided otherwise as it was foggy and cloudy. Despite the fog the area is beautiful.
Evidence of the fog.
The Torrey pine is the rarest pine in North America and gets most of its water from taking in the moisture in the air from the fog via its needles. We hiked down to the beach.
The water was 57 degrees but there were surfers who braved the waters.
Mostly a rocky shore with cliffs but some beach area.
Some vegetation on the cliffs.
We saw dolphins and sea lions and lots of birds and also the ….
……Torrey Pines golf course which hosts a tournament on the PGA tour.
We loved the hiking in the reserve and the views even though it was foggy.
