La Jolla’s beautifully rugged coastline is dotted with ten different beaches, each with its own unique personality and characteristics. Some are large and incredibly family-friendly, complete with playgrounds and large grassy areas, while others are smaller and more intimate surfing havens with killer beach breaks. A few provide great vantage points to watch the local seals and sea lions, while still others are perfect for simply soaking up some sunshine.
If your perfect beach day consists of exploring caves and the marine life in the tidepools, then Wipeout Beach is ideal for you! However, you'll want to check for low tides as the ocean covers the tidepools for half of the day. This beach is known for capturing great photos, so don't forget your camera!
La Jolla Cove is arguably the most famous beach in La Jolla for its gorgeous atmosphere and crystal clear water. The cove keeps the water warm enough to swim all year round, which makes it perfect for a number of activities including swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, and even visiting sea caves.
