First for Women – August 26, 2019

O

verlooking the Pacific Ocean

on the north side of San Diego

lies the beautiful seaside com-

munit y of La Jol la. Nick na med “t he

jewel,” this West Coast destination is

known for its seven miles of pictur-

esque shoreline, abundant marine life

and mild “micro-climate” that make it

the perfect end-of-summer getaway.

Start your escape by basking in

the sun at La Jolla Shores Park. This

scenic spot is a favorite for tour-

ists and locals alike for partaking in

water sports, grabbing a bite to eat

and relaxing in the shade. “Great

beach with gentle, shallow waves and

stunning views of the cove,” says a

reviewer from Texas. “It’s a fun place

to watch the surfers and take long

walks on the soft sand.”

To encounter the local wildlife,

embark on a kayak tour with Bike and

Kayak Tours ($39 per person) and

paddle past La Jolla’s caves and cliffs.

Sun-kissed beaches,

spectacular views and

friendly locals are what

await you in this little

slice of heaven
