What to do and see in La Jolla, California (CA): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

July 4, 2021 Kelli Reichel

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.

The views are worth the drive, the memorial is a great tribute to our nations veterans. Watch the traffic on the drive up .. the locals are rude and drive like they are at Indy
