San Diego Earthquakes
Believe it or not, I’ve actually met travelers who are hesitant to visit La Jolla because of our state’s history of earthquakes. This always amazes me because I’ve lived here most of my life and, while there have been a few minor shakes, our quakes never do much damage. The experts at San Diego State […]

What’s that you say? You’d like to visit La Jolla, but you’re short of time? Or a plane ticket? No problem. Our community’s multiple web cams make it possible to watch La Jolla from anywhere in the world. The newest web camera – and the one that’s getting all the attention these days – is […]
Kimpton’s Hotel La Jolla Offers Great Packages
I walk past it several times a week, but I still stop and stare at the chic boutique hotel on the corner of La Jolla Shores Drive and Torrey Pines Road. I became so accustomed to it being a construction site that it’s hard to believe it’s up-and-running. In addition to being visually stunning, […]
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 Playhouse
For many travelers, San Diego means beaches, the Zoo, and Sea World, but as I said in “Debunking Myths About La Jolla,” our significant cultural advantages are less known. This was underscored Sunday night when “Memphis” won the Tony Award for “Best Musical.” The show’s director Christopher Ashley is also the Artistic Director of La […]
La Jolla Art and Wine Festival
Shopping opportunities draw visitors to Girard Avenue every day, but this will be especially true on Saturday and Sunday, October 10 and 11, from 9am – 5pm. The La Jolla Art & Wine Festival will showcase the work of 300 artists from Southern California and Northern Baja (selected by jury). The street fair will take […]
In Search of the Best Beach
Even though I live here, La Jolla’s beautiful beaches still take my breath away. To best sure you see the most scenic viewpoints, follow this route: Starting at the south end of La Jolla – at La Jolla Boulevard and La Cañada Street – take La Cañada towards the ocean. You’ll have a good view […]
La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”
In addition to dispensing La Jolla travel information via this blog, I also answer questions on TripAdvisor’s La Jolla Forum. It’s recently become apparent on this site that many visitors aren’t aware that what we locals call “the village” is not the same place as “the Shores.” La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”…. The village […]
Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar
“The best deal in town.” That’s how a friend described the happy hour menu at La Jolla’s Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar – so of course I had to go and check it out. And sure enough, my beloved Chinese pot stickers filled with shrimp and scallops and served with Tobiko caviar sauce, normally $14.95, […]
