What to do and see in La Jolla, California (CA): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

October 13, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Topnotch golf courses, art galleries and seals share the dramatic oceanside landscape of La Jolla, an affluent community 15 minutes from downtown San Diego. Swimmers, snorkelers and kayakers dip into La Jolla Cove, where the protected waters shield an abundance of bright orange Garibaldi fish and sea caves indent the cliffs. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the family-friendly Birch Aquarium and the acclaimed La Jolla Playhouse deliver breaks from the sun.

La Jolla Outpost

La Jolla Outpost is committed to clean and functional equipment. If it doesn't work bring it back and we'll get you back in the water. I'm an avid snorkeler myself and I thought to myself, " If I was on vacation why would I spend money on a mediocre snorkel set that I have to pack into my suitcase after only using for a couple hours and never use it again. We provide tours, rentals, and experience

The staff gave us good advice and the Outpost was very convenient for snorkeling gear! Short walk to tremendous snorkeling.
