La Jolla Cove

La Jolla Cove is a very small north-facing beach tucked between sandstone cliffs. It sits inside the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve, where fishing and removal of marine objects are prohibited. Summer visibility can exceed 30 feet when surf is small, which draws swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers.California sea lions often rest at nearby Point La Jolla. Posted barriers and seasonal closures protect animals and control where visitors may stand. The Cove has a permanent lifeguard station, restrooms, and showers. Surf and current can change quickly, and the beach prohibits dogs, alcohol, glass, smoking, and camping. More
