Don't buy anything from Torrey Pines Gliderport
Over a month ago I placed an order for paragliding boots. I was told by two sales associates that these boots were in-stock and would be shipped in two days or less. Two weeks later I was told by one of them that they had already shipped. Then after 3-weeks I gave up and asked for a refund, which they said they would do. They LIED! The tracking number they sent me still comes up as never being shipped. I'm still waiting for a refund of my $300. I would NEVER make a purchase with them again... Even if they were the last place in the world to buy something from. Thanks a lot for wasting my time and lying to me Torrey Pines Gliderport!

GliderPort
it's a great view of the coast and gliders! You can lookout over the sea, down on to black's beach, or watch the people para-gliding around. There are also some R/C plane pilots launching gliders off the cliffs on occassion too.

The view
One of the highlights of the trip. Could have spend the entire day looking out over the Pacific...and by the way, there were these cool gliders.

Not Fair!!!!
I just learned the gliderport provides at their $$$$ expense $$$$$$The ONLY toilet facilities for the entire beach.....This is not right..........the city should put and pay foradditional facilities away from the gliderport.Also if you have handicapped person in your care, once a monththe gliderport caters to them. People in wheelchairs are flown and special handicapped bathrooms are installed just for theirconvience. This place aims to please; also the food is quite good.

the views alone are well worth the visit
the glideport overlooks a magnificent stretch of the pacific ocean from the top of a tall cliff. if you are not adventerous enough to try hang gliding, you must at least visit once to watch a spectacular sunset. bring some warm clothing in the colder months as it might get a bit chilly.
