The Torrey Pine - Why is this area so valuable? Thanks to some foresight, conservationists have kept this area untouched offering the most pristine landscape in all of Southern California. The Torrey Pine tree is the rarest plant species in the United States, because it is a combination of two plants. The reserve is home to thousands of the rare pines ranging from small to large sizes.
Hiking Trails - Here is a listing of the most popular trails in the reserve, which will take you to different parts of the park. The Guy Fleming Trail is a 2/3 mile loop that offers easy trails and great views. The Parry Grove Trail is a 1/2 mile loop that is very secluded and has a steep entry. The Razor Point Trail is a 2/3 mile to point with dramatic gorge views and limited shade. The Beach Trail is a 3/4 mile walk down to Flat Rock and the beach, which is the least scenic but offers beach access. Finally, the Broken Hill Trail will take you to a scenic overlook and is 1.2 miles long.
Los Penasquitos Marsh - This is a natural reserve within the park that offers different ecological diversity. The area was formed 10-20 thousand years ago from a melting glacier. You will find an abundance of diverse bird species and unique plants.

Hikers are advised to carry water with them since there is limited shade in some areas.
Food and drink other than water is NOT permitted in the park.
Parking is available in the north part of the park on the Coast Highway, and there is an $8 fee for each car that enters the park.
