“We’ve got the state beach and the scenic bluffs along the coastline,” said Robin Greene, the California State Parks superintendent at Torrey Pines.

“We’ve got the state natural reserve which is basically the hilltop, the higher elevation on top of the bluffs and the area surrounding. Then we’ve got the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon,” Greene said.

The reserve can be stunning, depending on the weather or time of day, but the park’s popularity comes as much from where it is as from what’s there. Nestled next to the ocean, the reserve is an island of natural habitat in a sea of civilization.
