Leopard Sharks at La Jolla Shores
It’s been a busy August. Leopard sharks at La Jolla Shores Beach have attracted record numbers of visitors. The harmless sharks appear every summer, but there were more of them than usual this year. In addition, the hot weather (ok, not hot by Phoenix standards) drew crowds of locals and vacationers looking for a […]
Survivor Beach Event at La Jolla Shores, San Diego
Last year, Survivor Beach surfboards stretched the length of five football fields. I omitted an important event from the “What To Do In San Diego During the Summer” post I wrote earlier this week. On Sunday, June 10, from 8 to 10 a.m, La Jolla Shores Beach will be the site of a possible record-breaking […]
San Diego Hotel Deals and News
Dramatic winter storm surf draws visitors to La Jolla, California. If you’re planning a trip to Southern California in the near future, you’ll find some of the best hotel bargains in La Jolla – San Diego’s favorite coastal community. Located only 12 miles from the San Diego Zoo and downtown, La Jolla offers beautiful beaches, […]
How to Get to La Jolla from San Diego, California?
La Jolla’s fame as Southern California’s most beautiful beach community draws travelers from all over the world. Unfortunately, most visitor maps don’t make it clear that La Jolla is part of San Diego, which can make getting here a bit confusing. I’ve already discussed La Jolla’s location, but I never really explained how to get here. […]
Where is La Jolla, California?
La Jolla is a community within the city of San Diego – located 12 miles from downtown. I started writing “La Jolla Travel Information” 3 years ago because I want visitors to get the most from the time they spend in my community. However, it recently occurred to me that while I was busy leading […]
Do I need a car in La Jolla?
“Do I need a car in La Jolla?” My answer to this frequent question is always the same. “It depends.” If you are going to stay in a hotel in the village and want to shop, dine, drink, hang out at The Cove, visit the seals at the Children’s Pool, enjoy the view, and maybe […]
San Diego Aerial Sky Tours
In an earlier post I told you about Air2Air and their great San Diego aerial sky tours over La Jolla and other parts of San Diego. Now San Diego Sky Tours, a new sightseeing tour company, is also offering visitors a chance to see San Diego from the air with a first-class flying experience. Departing […]
La Jolla Sky Tour
I thought I knew La Jolla and the rest of San Diego, but something happened last week that has given me a new perspective. I flew over my hometown of several decades – not in a big jet that was in a hurry to get someplace, but in a five-seat Piper Seneca with time to […]
Where NOT to eat in La Jolla
This won’t make me popular with a couple of local restaurateurs, but I have had two very disappointing meals in the village recently. Until they mend their ways (hire a new chef?), I suggest you avoid Bistro 101 and Alfonso’s – both restaurants are on Prospect Street. I don’t like reporting negative experiences, but the […]
B&B On the Sea
April 2012 update – B&B On the Sea has been sold and is now a private residence. If you want romantic lodging with one of San Diego’s best views – you can’t do better than this historic cottage on a bluff overlooking the beach in La Jolla. In contrast to a hotel, this cozy spot offers […]
