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
