Nature Trails
Winding along the rocky cliffs of this Southern California coastline, there are caves and tide pools for the adventurous at heart and close by is the Torrey Pines State Park with miles of hiking trails.

From La Jolla Cove it's a more interesting swim as the area from North of the Scripps Pier going South to the Devils Slides is mostly sand bottom until you reach the canyon. Explore the kelp forests just off Scripps Park with easy and convenient beach entry from La Jolla Cove Beach.

Childrens' Beach
An officially designated wildlife preserve. Visitors enjoy a unique encounter with harbor seals who also appreciate the blissful beaches of La Jolla.

Scripps Underwater Marine Reserve

La Jolla Cove Beach
Located a stones throw from La Jolla Cove Suites, here ocean swimming is popular, snorkelers meet marine life face to face with visibility around 30 feet and scuba divers have easy access to the Scripps Underwater Marine Reserve.

Boomer's Beach
The expert body surfers challenge is located just south of La Jolla Cove Beach.

La Jolla is blessed with stretches of crystalline white sand beaches from La Jolla Shores to the more intimate and secluded beaches that adorn this coastal community such as the La Jolla Cove Beach.

Deep water access (from the beach) is from north of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography just across the bay and from La Jolla Cove to the South. La Jolla Canyon and the Scripps Canyon branches are an easy swim from the beaches near La Jolla's Kellogg Park (La Jolla Shores).
