La Jolla

Recenter Map To This Location

La Jolla: Be sure to visit La Jolla, “The Jewel,” a sophisticated town just north of San Diego. Classy shops and restaurants line the streets and on a warm sunny day there is nowhere more perfect for an informal lunch and water views than George’s Ocean Terrace (858-454-4244). La Jolla is home to a branch of the University of California and within its Scripps Institution of Oceanography are an excellent aquarium and museum featuring marine life from California and Mexico. Another very interesting museum is the Museum of Contemporary Art with its spectacular ocean views, interesting exhibits, and delightful café (858-454 3541, www.mcasd.org). Just down Prospect Street from the museum visit the landmark John Cole’s Bookstore set in a historic house overlooking the ocean. However, what really makes La Jolla so special is her setting—beautiful white-sand beaches sheltered in intimate little coves. You may prefer to stay here rather than in San Diego.
