Torrey Pines Gliderport
Just south of the Torrey Pines Golf Course, you’ll find both hang gliders and paragliders — both subsets of the community of foot-launched flyers — hanging out at the gliderport, waiting for the wind to be just right before they take a flying leap off the cliff. If you’ve got your own glider, you’re free to launch here, but this is the largest tandem operation in the world — which means it’s a great place to learn.
