Is Blackss Beach Still The Only Nude Beach in Del Mar?
The answer is yes. The southern boundary is marked by a very unofficial sign against the cliff, indicating the boundary between the city and state beaches. Beyond is the city beach, where nudity is prohibited. The rock is near, on the nude side of the boundary. The post and cones mark the point where you should dress. Before you go, read this advice from one of Black’s frequent visitors. As of July 2006, I have been to Black’s thousands of times. There has been recent change, just after July 4, 1999. Signs were posted stating that nudity is illegal. These signs are sometimes missing, due to theft, but the law can still be enforced. Put your clothes on when on the city beach, which begins somewhere south of the trail head, perhaps 100 meters. In the past there have been cones with a sign marking the nudity line. As of May or June of 2003 lifeguards have not been putting these markers up. Instead there is a square, yellow post with the letters T P C B, marking the boundary for Torrey Pin
