"La Jolla Shores Adjacent to the San Diego –La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve, La Jolla Shores is popular for a variety of water sports—both above and below the surface. Gentle waves, particularly in summer, make this area a great place for beginner surfers and stand-up paddleboarders. Visitors can also kayak to the La Jolla sea caves to spot wildlife, or learn to scuba dive in the pristine waters. Birch Aquarium even offers snorkeling tours from July through September so brave souls can swim among the leopard sharks that congregate at one end of the beach."

Such a calm atmosphere for some awesome Cali vibes. Parking gets full quick, but street parking is thankfully allowed. Beach is split so that surfers and boogie boarders have space away from swimmers. Life guards are always attentive and present. Beach is clean and the environment is safe.

We came to La Jolla to visit the tide pools but we walked along the beach at Shores Park. There were many surfers here and the beach was nice and hard packed so it was great for walking. There were not many shells but we saw lots of seagulls and other things along the beach. This is preferred for walking over the tide pools area that is harder to walk along.

Amazing beach, first time at a beach on the Pacific, minus Hawaii. Tons of flies though and the water was freezing, nevetheless still a wonderful beach!°

Huge wide-open rock-free beach. Clear and Clean ocean water. Nice rinse off stations for feet/body bathroom ms are very dingy and dirty but they are constantly busy. Bring your own tp!

It's great to come back after 8 years, and La Jolla Shores is still clean and beautiful. Mission Bay Crown Point unfortunately is now a homeless refuge.

Nice beach and lots of room… parking can be a pain so get there early…. Restrooms are very busy during weekends

World class beach. I am here at 6 am to claim one of the five fire rings. We will have a bonfire tonight! Roast hot dogs, have s'mores and grill up some burgers. Just a note: FYI, public beaches here are no smoking, no alcohol.

Beautiful beach, family friendly, public bathrooms and showers. Parking is difficult but that's to be expected. A few vendors with popsicles and corn in a cup made for a great beach to visit.

We spent the day in LA JOLLA, beginning at Harry's Coffee Shop, then we went to the Children's Pool and the Birch Aquarium. We then spent the day at the LA JOLLA SHORES PARK BEACH!!! I spent the time back on the Cement Bench, guarding our supplies, AND VALUABLES!!! As I understood it, my Niece spent the majority of the time in the water, but also collecting sea shells. It was a great outing for the FOUR OF US!!!

La Jolla Shores Park is located just north of Kellogg Park, adjacent to the La Jolla Shores Beach. Free parking for the beach and parks in La Jolla Shores Park. It's a short walk to La Jolla Shores shops, bars, and restaurants. The Park is one of my favorite places for enjoying the waterfront in San Diego. The are public restrooms at the north end of the park, and more just south of Kellogg Park. The Park tends to be crowded on weekends and most days in the summer. Plan your visit for early in the day or later in the afternoon.
