La Jolla "Village" is very popular with those that want easy access to all the delights that "Downtown" La Jolla offers including:
excellent shops, the beaches, tide pools, the unbelievable variety (over 100) of the finest restaurants in California, the Museum of Contemporary Art, etc.
In addition there are some 40 art galleries! The "Village" is the oldest section of La Jolla dating back to 1888, originally settled by local San Diegans wanting a weekend cottage by the sea.
La Jolla Beaches are some of the nicest and most interesting in the world!
La Jolla Cove – A small beautiful beach, tucked between towering sandstone cliffs, with tide pools and caves. Excellent swimming and diving. Ellen Browning Scripps Park is perfect for picnics.
The Children's Pool – A breakwater keeps the water here gentle, unfortunately, swimming and diving is prohibited due to pollution created by (delightful) seals.
