La Jolla Cove
La Jolla Cove is an outdoor activity in La Jolla, CA, part of the San Diego guide. Cost: free.
1100 Coast Blvd · La Jolla, CA
Why you should go…
This sheltered cove is one of San Diego's best spots for snorkeling and kayaking thanks to calm, clear water inside a protected marine reserve. Wild sea lions and harbor seals regularly sun themselves on the surrounding rocks and the adjacent Children's Pool beach.
