La Jolla is a great starting point for exploring the rest of San Diego. There are several coastal and inland communities that make up greater San Diego, and each one of them has their own unique character! From Oceanside and Encinitas in North County to the southern beach communities of Ocean Beach and Point Loma, each neighborhood is definitely worth exploring during your visit.
Point Loma is a seaside community that sits on a peninsula just south of La Jolla. Known for its seafood dining, historic landmarks, trendy boutiques, and gorgeous homes, it’s one of the more affluent neighborhoods in San Diego. For those who like to explore, Point Loma is also home to the Cabrillo National Monument and historic lighthouse, which can be seen by visitors.
Pacific Beach is known for its lively nightlife with no shortage of pubs and oceanfront restaurants. If you visit during the day, take advantage of the PB Pier and go for a stroll along the boardwalk or go for a bike ride with the family. You'll never run out of excitement in Pacific Beach, so plan for a packed day!
