Best of 2003: Best Place To Watch The Submarine Races

Highway 101 at Torrey Pines State Beach

Unfortunately, the prime spots for automotive lovebirds along San Diego's beaches and bays are well-known. If you're going to be there any length of time, chances are the sudden glare of a cop's flashlight is going to crash your private party. So it's best to park in the open. Try the stalls along Torrey Pines. Oh sure, you'll have cars rushing by. But you've got a prime ocean view and -- best of all -- no one can sneak up on you.
