La Jolla Day Trip

La Jolla Day Trip

Wanting to escape the city for a few hours, we took off via car 30 miles north of San Diego to La Jolla. After driving through neighborhood after neighborhood of enormous, beautiful mansions we found a bath between two homes at the intersection of La Jolla Farms Road and Blackgold Road leading down a steep hill to a secluded stretch of sand. Once you take the ten minute trek down the hill you come upon the vast Pacific Ocean. Bring some food and have a picnic, and spend a few hours just relaxing!

It's quite a steep trek back up to your car, so wear some comfy sneakers.

While staying in San Diego with a group of 40 co-workers my wife and I took a day trip up to La Jolla, we rented a Jeep Compass from Enterprise. We really enjoyed our drive along the coast; we made a stop at Torrey Pines Golf home of the 2008 US Open and we picked up a couple of gifts from the proshop.

We walked along the beach in La Jolla and really enjoyed our relaxing day.

This is a very pleasant beach to visit. I went there several times to watch the sunset as it was close to where I stayed. They have barbecue grills and concrete picnic tables right near the beach, so you can have dinner and watch the sun set. We got there just in time to see the sun set while we ate our grilled burgers.

There is a seal beach nearby that is protected by the Conservation Department. They breed seals here and you can get fairly close to them, though it is roped off at a certain point. There is also a small pier you can walk out on to that enables you to get a good view of the seals as well. While I was out on this pier one day I saw several whales that were probably 200 yards away.

There is also a small walkway above the beach, so if you don't want to get sandy you can stroll along the paved sidewalk and enjoy the sea breezes and the sun set if the time is right. There seemed to be plenty of parking along the road each time I was there, so that shouldn't be an issue, but that probably depends on what time of year you are visiting. I recommend this beach. It is beautiful!

The beach in La Jolla we went to was not so crowded. This day, it was pretty windy, so not so many people laid on the beach, but we wanted to try the clean water and go against the waves!
