La Jolla is known as “the jewel” of San Diego and is one of California’s most beloved seaside destinations. It’s surrounded on three sides by the ocean while the steep slopes of Mt. Soledad rise majestically in the background. La Jolla offers an upscale village lifestyle with a variety of activities. You can find plenty of accommodations, ranging from casual to extravagant. Check out their many art galleries, museums, unique boutiques and restaurants for every palate. Outdoor activities are plentiful whether you want to totally relax or have a bit of an adventure. If you’re an animal lover, you must visit the location known as the Children’s Pool, which no longer allows people to swim in it since a colony of seals now inhabits it. Proceed to Torrey Pines Gliderport to go airborne. Whether flying tandem with one of their experts or drifting alone, you’ll soar over the cliffs and golden sands of the beach. You’ll definitely observe the Pacific Ocean and its gorgeous landscape from a totally different perspective. The relatively calm ocean waters make La Jolla Shores, the Cove and Windansea excellent locations for the beach lover to swim, surf, snorkel, scuba dive and kayak. During certain times of the year, you can partake in whale watching San Diego as these magnificent mammals migrate to and from Baja, California.
