Whether you swim or surf, be careful as Ocean Beach has very strong rip currents. Black’s is located about 1km north of the Scripps Pier and just to the South of the Torrey Pines Glider Port (port or park I am not really sure…I just know they fly big kites there). Most of the Black’s beach stretch faces almost due west…which exposes the beach to both WNW and SW swells. High tide is often extremely high, rip currents are common, and the cliffs of Black’s Beach occasionally experience slides. Lifeguards are often on duty from April through October, but there is no permanent lifeguard station on site. It is set at the base of the high bluffs between Scripps Pier and Los Penasquitos Lagoon, and is as controversial as it is hard to reach. It is so out of the way we wonder why anyone would bother to get uptight about people enjoying the sun, surf, and sand au nature.
