Camino del Oro., La Jolla, CA
La Jolla Shores (in new window)
La Jolla Shores is ideal for boogie boarding, surfing, bodysurfing, picnicking, jogging and swimming. The waves at this beach are the most gentle of all San Diego beaches, for this reason it's the most popular spot for novice scuba classes. The best spot for young children to play is south toward the entrance at Avenida de la Playa - the waves tend to be little smaller, discouraging most of the boogie boarders and crowds.
