Review:

La Jolla Cove is a tiny, very beautiful cove with a small, sandy beach surrounded by cliffs in La Jolla. The Cove is part of a marine reserve which mean surfboards, boogie boards and other boards are not allowed. Underwater is very rich in marine life, and swimmers, snorkelers and scuba divers can enjoy watching colorful yellowtail, garibaldi, rays, and even leopard sharks from time to time.


This small beach gets even smaller during high tide, but during low tide fascinating tide pools are created. Swimming off the beach is only for strong swimmers as there are often large swells and the water is colder than at other San Diego beaches.
