Review:
Located at the end of La Jolla’s Nautilus Street, Windansea Beach is a small stretch of sand more popular among surfers than families with kids. Large protruding rocks make swimming hazardous and big pounding waves created by underwater reefs and jutting rocks bring experienced surfers in droves. You will find the beach very different in the winter, when storms often take away much of the sand.
Nevertheless, the beach is very beautiful, with sandstone rocks sticking out from the sand and surf, and a small beach shack with a palm roof built in 1946, now a historic landmark. The scenic spot is very popular for wedding photos, and sunset photos are spectacular. There is a lifeguard on duty during the summer, and no public facilities are offered.
