Starting November 3, 2025, California State Parks will begin a multi-phase improvement project at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. The project will upgrade utilities, enhance accessibility, modernize the comfort station, and make other site improvements — all aimed at creating a safer, more accessible experience for visitors.
Access Changes & Timeline
From November 2025 through February 2026, the main park road, upper parking lots, and all Reserve trails will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians.
However, the South and North Beach parking lots, Torrey Pines State Beach, and Torrey Pines Extension trails will remain open during this time.
Full access to the Reserve is expected to resume by March 1, 2026, with a Phase II planned for August–September 2026.
