La Jolla Cove

Considered one of Southern California's most beautiful beaches, and the only place in San Diego to snorkel.

"La Jolla Cove is, hands-down, the best location for snorkeling in San Diego. The water is very calm, suitable for children and beginners."

Underwater Ecological Reserve - This small beach is sheltered by cliffs and offers clear, calm waters. For that reason it is a diving and snorkeling playground. Surfing is not allowed, but the beach area is perfect for sunbathing, people watching, or just relaxing.
Non-Beach Activities - Above the beach there is walking trails that look over the cliffs and out onto the Pacific Ocean. Scripps Park is also located very near the cove, which offers picnic areas and lots of space to play.
Good to Know - Scripps Park has public restrooms and showers. There are lifeguards on duty at the cliffs year-round. Parking is limited and fills up quickly on summer weekends, so get there early.
