Unique La Jolla Restaurant Experience
Do yourself a favor and make reservations today for one of this week’s High Tide Dinners at the Marine Room on La Jolla Shores Beach. San Diego’s favorite coastal community has many good restaurants, but only one can offer the thrill of watching waves splashing on huge picture windows during a high tide. The Marine […]
Best Restaurant Views in San Diego, California
Planning a trip to San Diego? Book a window table at The Marine Room for a truly memorable dining experience. When you select a restaurant, is a good view almost as important to you as good food? If so, you’ll want to check out the results of Open Table’s Diners’ Choice Awards for the 50 […]
La Jolla’s Newest Ocean View Café
The terrace at Caroline’s Seaside Cafe on the SIO/UCSD campus is a breezy, ocean view spot for breakfast and lunch. Caroline’s is perched on a sandstone bluff and serves up a 180° blue-water panorama, as well as healthy, California-style meals. Some time ago, I wrote about “San Diego’s Best Beach Breakfast,” which described Snackropolis on […]
La Jolla Locals’ Favorite Ocean View Café
Goldfish Point Café is one of La Jolla’s best kept secrets. The regulars – and there are many – include La Jolla Cove swimmers, who gather here for coffee and conversation after their morning workout. The young and the restless also roll in regularly with their laptops and avail themselves of the free wi-fi. Other […]
San Diego’s Best Beach Breakfast
Author’s Note: Snackropolis closed when Caroline’s Seaside Cafe opened nearby. However, the picnic tables and ocean view remain – which maks this a great spot for brown baggers or smart folks who pick up sandwiches at the Cheese Shop on nearby Avenida de la Playa. Original post: Snackropolis, tucked away on the SIO campus in […]

These restaurants are very near […]
“World’s Best” La Valencia Hotel
San Diego has some wonderful hotels, but none are better loved than La Valencia. “The Pink Lady” has been a landmark in La Jolla since 1926. For many years, I naively thought I was the only one whose heart skipped a beat at the sight of La Sala, where potted palms and traditional furnishings welcome […]
La Jolla: Rainy Day Activities
Hmmm…It seems that in my enthusiasm for describing our beautiful winter high and low tides, I forgot to mention that November to March is also our rainy season. In my defense, it’s an easy oversight to make. The average annual rainfall in San Diego is less than 10 inches. However, if you are visiting now […]
San Diego: Winter Fun Activities
Very high and very low tides make the months of November – February a great time to be in San Diego. High tides produce waves the height of two-story buildings and low tides reveal beautiful wide expanses of beach. San Diego: Winter Fun Activities Visitors will know the tide is unusually high when they drive […]
Lunch with the best beach view
Visitors to San Diego frequently ask about “lunch with the best beach view,”and my answer flops around depending on if they want casual or special occasion, with kids or without. However, after experiencing lunch at The Shores Restaurant in the La Jolla Shores Hotel last week, I think it really is the best choice for the […]
