Gliderport Trail – 0.6 miles with a 170-ft elevation

A very short and intense, out-and-back trail that can get a little crowded during peak hours and days. However, the views are breathtaking from the top of the cliffs outlining the endless coastline. If you desire to journey to the end of the trail, you will find Black’s Beach, a clothing optional beach.
This option is also the closest trail access to the beach from the hotel.

Guy Fleming Trail – 0.8 miles with a 52-ft elevation

Another short but busy loop that features delicate wildflowers and easy walking trails. This trail is picture-perfect with smaller cliff sites, but still gorgeous views.

Razor Point Trail – 1.3 miles with a 150-ft elevation

For those looking for a little more space and the ability to hike, walk or run, this trail is a great option. This trail is highly manicured but still has plenty of spots for photos.

Broken Hill Trail – 2.3 miles with a 324-ft elevation

Another beautiful trail that takes you through the flora and fauna of the region, including chaparral and sagebrush. It can be heavily trafficked during peak weekend times but does provide beach access.

Tide Pools Walk – 3.9 miles with a 285-ft elevation

Great for all skill levels, this hidden hike is full of sea life and wildflowers and places you right in the heart of La Jolla. This hike is best done in the morning when the tides are low revealing the most tidepools. And always be sure to observe good tidepool etiquette – take only pictures and leave only footprints.
