What people say
Michael Martello
"You've made it to La Jolla Cove! This is the most popular (and best) spot in La Jolla. While it's a small beach area, it's surrounded by mermaid-esque caves and is a great place for snorkeling, swimming, and scuba diving. Buy some snorkel gear at La Jolla Caves Snorkel & Paddleboard Rental.
If you're lucky, the sea lions will be sunbathing on the sand here! But don't get too close - they bite! Or maybe worse, chase you (this has happened before, check the news!)"

"La Jolla Cove is a favorite spot for both locals and visitors to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views as the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean.The sound of gentle waves breaking against the rocks and the call of seagulls in the distance add to the experience, creating an atmosphere that complements the natural beauty of the sunset."

"The crown jewel of La Jolla. The most iconic beach in town has a stunning view with a perfectly sculpted cove. Avoid the seals and respect their space! "
