Best sunset views in San Diego! Don't listen to the rumors of seals infesting the shores of La Jolla. The water is clear and this is the place to go to kayak and scuba dive . Totally worth a visit!

Jack Wolff

A great beach ! The sand, the nearby restaurants and the amazing sea-life... did you know that during September/October you'll be able to swim with friendly Leopard Sharks ?!?!

Joyce Jenq

Bathroom at the north end is under construction . North end is for surfing , south end is for swimming . Check out the leopard sharks in the fall. Kayaking in the cove is a fun summer/fall activity too

Jessica Braxton

A bit smelly because of the sea lions but it is breathtakingly beautiful. Snorkeling here is a must, as well as a good hike along the edge of the water as far as you can go.

Ben Van Dierendonck

One of the most beautiful beaches in San Diego . Great for walking along, boogie boarding , or snorkeling with sharks and rays.

Kate Klampe

Wonderful place to take in the sunrise and a great place to walk the dog around. If you want to run, the distance the beach and tennis club and the pier and back is a mile.

Brad Hager

Beautiful beach , & park . Very crowded making it a great place for people watching . A number of places within walking distance for food, beer , and cocktails .

Colleen Alexander

So beautiful. We spent a whole day here just on the beach . We then drove over to the cove and walked all along to watch the sunset . So fun! Walk up to the main strip for some awesome dining.

Phyliss Howard

This beach was awesome! The weather was perfect during the month of June. San Diego was a beautiful, beautiful place!

Billy Amp

Best spot to Snorkel , surf , or scuba in the SD area. You might see some sharks! Definitely some Garibaldi!

Ocean Enterprises

Great diving, waves are usually small so shore entry is easy. Plenty of marine life to see as you get deeper! Great for night dives!

Sara Heap

It's completely packed with people, there is seaweed EVERYWHERE (and its covered in flies), and the park lot is nearly impossible to get a parking spot in. Definitely my least favorite beach in SD.

Talal

Great spot for swimming . Also, there is few good places for coffee and snacks .

Tim Deng

A great date location. Come picnic here

Phelan Riessen

Make sure to check out the leopard sharks during August September area. They are in front of the beach hotel on the south side. You can't miss them, they are 4 to 5 feet long.

One of the best sunsets in town .

It's a beautiful beach . Parking is a hassle ... most of the time! You can bring your dogs late night ...

Mike Doria

Dive in! But get here early or you'll end up on a fishing expedition for a parking space .

Ozlem Trocki

I love this beach ! Beautiful sunset to watch and long beach to walk..

Pablo Virzi

Very nice place for summer. One of the most beautiful beaches I've been.

Mothsquatch

great area to see the ocean and some wildlife ... seals are close by and pelican everywhere... the tide pools are my favorite... we saw an octopus and other cool sea life around them.

Angie Osmanski

La Jolla is gorgeous in general, but this beach was crowded for my taste. I'd rather go to Coronado Beach or Pacific Beach in San Diego .

Some call it "The Jewel" of San Diego. Is it because sodium pentothal once made me reveal it as the location of a stash of untold riches? Probably not. Because as far as you know, that never happened.

Dalal Aldhobaib

Lovely beach .. i enjoy the view and sea lion there

Ron Phipps

Come with a tripod and take some beautiful sunset pictures

Ashley Cox

The water is so clear here! First beach I've found in Cali with clear water like this. Watch out for the stingrays tho! Scared the crap out of me...

Really nice beach in the wealthy La Jolla neighborhood . Worth spending a few hours here. Great for surfing .
