Review:
Situated less than half an hour from downtown San Diego, La Jolla offers visitors miles of beautiful beaches, some of the best surfing and diving in California, and many more attractions. The beach at La Jolla Cove is part of the La Jolla Ecological Preserve and is home to reefs, kelp beds, and caves, where you can snorkel or dive all year round. La Jolla Shores is an ideal beach for families and novice surfers.
You can take the kids to see the seals at La Jolla Children’s Pool or take a break from the beaches and head to Torrey Pines State National Preserve to go hiking along some of the best trails in the state. Art lovers can visit the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego or visit the many public art installations dotted around the Village.
