The Best Places in California That Only Locals Know About

San Diego: The Secret Swings

The “secret swings” on the La Jolla hillside above Scripps Pier near UC San Diego are just that: a secret. Well, at least locals want them to remain a secret. Hidden in the trees are a few sets of swings. Those who hike up from Expedition Way, get this sweet surprise when they reach the top.

The coolest part about the secret swings is that the location, as well as the swings, are ever-changing . There have been all kinds of handmade swings, from a bench chair to a tire swing. If you’re looking to find them, the hashtag #secretswings (on Instagram) might help get you in on the mystery, which is all the fun.
