Razor Point and Beach Trail Loop

The Razor Point and Beach Trail Loop is located in the Torrey Pines State Park and is 1.3 miles round trip. There is a short elevation on the trail of 250 feet. Hiking time is typically about an hour and the trail is well maintained and easy to travel. Like the other trails in the area, this hike is easy and visitors can hike all of the trails in one day if they do not stop for breaks. The area is usually crowded, especially on the weekends. In addition to hiking locals, many of the visitors to San Diego take time on their vacations to hike the trails. The trails are right next to the University of California San Diego, so the area is usually packed with fitness conscious college students. The area features patches of wildflowers, rare trees and coastal views, all just a short distance from downtown San Diego. Razor Point takes hikers right past the Red Butte to the Badlands. There is plenty of parking at the trail head, but there may be a fee for parking. You can also take some time to browse the visitor center before or after your hike. Hiking conditions are good year-round and there is beach access in some points throughout the park.
