La Jolla

Not to disagree with the many people who had a great time… But! grin. Actually, I worked here for over a year and spent much time here. It’s not so much that I wouldn’t recommend it as that I’d consider it overrated. There are some beautiful views, though I find Scripps Beach and Windandsea more accessible and less trafficked than the Cove. The most interesting thing about Windandsea is that used to be one of the most territorial surfing beaches in the country, and is also where Bob Simmons, one of the great innovators of surfing (he invented the skeg) died mysteriously one afternoon. It’s very expensive and much of the town closes up shop early, though there are some great restaurants. On the other hand, there are some beach towns that are much less touristy or expensive heading north of Del Mar – Leucadia and Encinitas are so much warmer in tone.

Had a great time in La Jolla! I would love to relocate here, but quite pricey.

nice

Beautiful surroundings, nice beaches, great restaurants and artwork, entertaining people to watch. Things are pricey in the area but you only live once. Mexican food abounds and memorable experiences await!

umm, yeah, this is one of those places where i would just love to live…however, i don’t have that kind of money. oh well.

i absolutely, positively, love it here! i went two years ago on vacation, totally worth it. we went to an outdoor mall, that was like, five stories tall(they don’t have that in alabama!), and we went to my dad’s friend’s work, pulse link, which was like a playground, and we went to all these beaches. the water i freezing! the gulf of mexico is like bath water! but it was so much fun to see dark sand and giant rocks. my family is moving there in the future.

If you like beaches, you’ll have a good time at La Jolla beach. Amazing sunsets, so take your camera. Make sure you check out the boutique stores and restaurants too!

I would like to take a long road trip along the Oregon and California coasts – begining at Newport since I’ve traveled the northern Oregon coast multiple times already…

When in San Diego, La Jolla is worth the visit. Just one of the many beaches in CA but by far the best!! You can walk the streets of La Jolla, art galleries or eat great food. Then go to the Seal-Childrens’ Pool area and see the seals up on the beach, walk out on the sea wall, walk along the cliffs, have a picnic or go over to the shores and boogie board or have a bon fire. La Jolla has a little bit for everyone!! This is “Sunny Jim”, 145 steps down in a man-made tunnel into the biggest tunnel accesable by land.

Lots of rich people’s houses, tons of restaurants, ritzy stores, beautiful beaches, UCSD, an aquarium, and expensive rent! What’s not to love?!
