Fatal falls and suicides at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

The coastal cliffs and bluffs at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve have been the site of multiple recorded fatalities from accidental falls and suicides due to steep, eroding sea cliffs and unstable ground. State park officials post warning signs and close sections of the reserve when erosion or unsafe conditions are present. Rescue teams and coroner investigations have responded repeatedly to incidents along the reserve's trails and shoreline.
