San Diego Restaurants
Maria Montana really knows San Diego restaurants. That’s why this “true foodie” is my go-to resource when I need a recommendation for a certain type of food in a particular part of the city. Even in La Jolla, where I have lived and dined for most of my life, I have long consulted her San […]
K Rob’s Guide To La Jolla Surf
This guest post was contributed by K Rob. The 25-mile stretch of Southern California coastline from Encinitas to Point Loma isn’t as world changing as the North Shore of Hawaii, but it remains an unparalleled surf destination. In the center of this stretch is La Jolla, the jewel. The most significant La Jolla surf spots […]
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 […]
Carnival Splendor in San Diego
A message to the passengers of Splendor, the Carnival cruise ship that arrived in San Diego today after being disabled off the coast of Mexico for what must have seemed like “forever.” You need a serious change of pace and a big breath of fresh air. Here’s what I suggest: It’s a beautiful day and […]
Where NOT to eat in La Jolla

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 […]

LA JOLLA HOTEL RESERVATIONS Before you make a decision, check out the deals offered by the Booking.com and HotelCombined “reservation boxes” on this site. You […]

San Diego Food Finds includes restaurant profiles for great places to eat all over San Diego County. Some of my favorites are: Fidel’s (Mexican) […]
The La Jolla Rough Water Swim
The La Jolla Rough Water Swim, America’s premier event of this type, takes place at the La Jolla Cove every year on the first Sunday in September. More than 2,000 swimmers churning up the water make for a memorable sight, and it’s not surprising that this is one of La Jolla’s most popular spectator events. Most competitors follow […]
La Jolla Farmers’ Market
The La Jolla farmers’ market is a perfect example of a really cool thing that doesn’t get on the radar screen of most visitors. It’s held every Sunday from 9am – 1pm on the playground of La Jolla Elementary on “upper Girard.” That’s the part of our main drag that extends south of Pearl Street. […]
