Description

Added by Amanda Messingschlager

La Jolla Coast Walk is a beautiful coastline trail, but is a bit of a heavily trafficked tourist trail. The hike can be started and ended at 3 separate locations. The trail is easily accessible with a small parking lot and tons of restaurants nearby.

The trail begins near another popular tourist attraction, the Cave Store. From the trail you can sea kayakers, sea lions and tons of flowers. The trail is rimmed with fences and handrails as well as benches. This is a great trail for scenic views and photography.

Note: Dogs are not permitted on the beach during peak hours. These hours vary from season to season, but more information can be found on SanDiego.gov.

Windansea Beach

One of San Diego's hidden gems. This beach offers an incredible and beautiful view any time of the day. An amazing time to go to this beach is during the sunset.

There are a few parking spots in the lot indicat...

Dive La Jolla Shores

While it doesn't get the attention of La Jolla Cove's green fields, the shores are one of the best parts about San Diego.Driving up to the large parking area it's immediately clear you've come to the right place as there's almost always divers suiting up in the early morning. A dive shop down the street (and in walking distance to save that parking spot) has you covered on air fills for the ret...
