One of the best things to do in pricey La Jolla, California, is free. Torrey Pines Gliderport, perched on top of a cliff above the ocean, is recognized as one of the nation's best spots to paraglide. Drive up to this place for one of the best unobstructed views of the La Jolla coastline in both directions and, if the winds permit, to watch gliders take off one after another.
If you're hungry, the Cliff Hanger Cafe offers a variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups. Sit at one of the outdoor tables to enjoy your lunch without having to miss any of the action. You'll be sure to be hit with a pang of envy while watching the gliders fly off and soar like birds. The sight of the paragliders flowing with the wind, their different colored wings set against the bright blue sky and the ocean waves below, makes it clear why so many people are willing to pay such a high price to live in the area.
If the budget allows, you can sign up for a paragliding tandem flight for $150. The more adventurous and experienced can go through their paragliding school program. Also available is hang gliding tandem flights for $200.
Right below at the base of the cliff is Black's Beach where nudity is tolerated. Nudity is allowed only in the northern portion of the beach, formally known as the Torrey Pines State Beach, managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The Black's Beach Bares, an organization dedicated to the nudist cause, maintains an updated site detailing how to reach the beach (Warning: nudity) from the gliderport.
