Easter – Last-Minute Plans
It’s sunny in La Jolla right now and, with any luck, the weather will also cooperate for Easter Sunday. If you haven’t already made plans, I recommend The Shores Restaurant at The La Jolla Shores Hotel (858-456-0600) and The Marine Room at The La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club (858-459-7222). 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 […]

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 […]
La Jolla – Best Fish Tacos
“Where can we get the best fish tacos?” I’ve been answering travelers’ questions about San Diego for a long time, and – trust me – this is one of the most frequent. I thought I knew the answer, but just to check, my husband and I bought fish tacos from three places in La Jolla […]
La Jolla Webcam – We’ve got Sun!
How cool is this? I just learned from Bernard Guillas, chef extraordinaire at the Marine Room Restaurant on La Jolla Shores Beach, that the LJ Beach & Tennis Club has a webcam. And the REALLY good news is that – as you can see – the sun is shining in San Diego today. After a […]
