#285 Point La Jolla

Point La Jolla, 'The Jewel' in Spanish, certainly lives up to its name with its sparkling clear waters. The walk along Coast Boulevard from Point La Jolla south includes several vista points, hidden coves, rocky bluffs, tidepools, seals and sea lions. It is a special place where everyone comes and everyone belongs.

 

#193 Broken Hill

Broken Hill is a beautiful overlook at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve in La Jolla. Eroded sandstone cliffs create a dramatic scene offering breathtaking views of the ocean below. A hiking loop trail leads down to the beach and makes for a great afternoon.

 

#150 Children's Pool

Children's Pool Beach in La Jolla is the place to see harbor seals basking in the sun. A barrier was constructed in 1931 to protect the beach from waves and currents so children could enjoy the ocean. The seals soon took over and were here to stay. Harbor Seals come here to rest, sunbathe and birth their young.

 

#65 La Jolla Sea Cave

Sunny Jim's Sea Cave in La Jolla is the only one of the seven sea caves that you can walk into. L. Frank Baum, the writer of 'The Wizard of Oz', named the cave after British Force Wheat Cereal in the 1920's because the opening of the cave resembled its mascot. 145 steps lead you down into the cave whose sandstone is estimated to be 75 million years old.

 

#48 Mount Soledad

Mount Soledad, with its elevation of 824 feet, is one of the best spots to view a panorama of San Diego. The Mount is also a Veterans Memorial paying tribute to those who have served our country. Views of La Jolla, the Coast and Downtown San Diego are magical here. Dr. Seuss' last home is also located on the slopes of Mount Soledad.
