Learn more about La Jolla

Watching sea lions bask on rocky outcrops at La Jolla Cove feels like nature's most entertaining show. The tide pools reveal miniature underwater worlds where starfish and anemones create living art. At Torrey Pines State Reserve, hiking trails wind along dramatic cliffs with Pacific views that make stopping every few steps mandatory. The brutalist masterpiece of Geisel Library at UCSD looks like it might lift off into space at any moment. Birch Aquarium showcases local marine life with tanks that seem to bring the ocean indoors. The Museum of Contemporary Art provides cultural balance to all that natural beauty. For the perfect day, grab fish tacos from a local spot before heading to Windansea Beach, where skilled surfers make impossible waves look easy.
