SAN DIEGO -- San Diego lifeguards Tuesday rescued a young woman who apparently became stranded on a cliff above Black's Beach without her clothes.
Dozens of lifeguards and Fire Engine Company 9 were sent to the Glider Port at about 2:15 p.m., according to San Diego Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque. It took them about 30 minutes to rig a series of rescue ropes. A female lifeguard then rappelled down to an exposed ledge, where the 27-year-old woman was stuck.
After hooking up the woman in a rescue harness, the lifeguard helped her rappel to the beach which was 500 feet below, where she was provided with clothing. The entire operation took about an hour, from start to finish.
The young woman was unharmed, Luque said. She will not be charged for the rescue, he added.
"She just became stuck," Luque said. "This happens all the time at Torrey Pines and Mission Trails."
Park rangers cited the woman for disregarding signs and entering a restricted area of Torrey Pines State Park.
Black's Beach has been widely considered a "clothing optional'' recreation spot for decades, though lifeguards began handing out public nudity citations there some 12 years ago. Despite the effort to enforce a standard of modesty there, however, some insist on enjoying the scenic stretch of shoreline au naturel.
