La Jolla Shores, Beach and marine reserve in La Jolla, United States
The mile-long sandy beach stretches along the Pacific Ocean, bordered by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography pier and protected by La Jolla Bay.
The establishment of the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve in this area led to strict regulations protecting marine life and geological formations.
Local residents and visitors gather at sunset near the fire pits, maintaining a tradition of evening beach activities throughout the summer months.
The beach offers amenities including lifeguard services, boat launches, volleyball courts, restrooms, showers, and a large parking area that opens from 4 AM to 10 PM.
The gentle waves and protected waters create conditions for both novice scuba diving training and kayak expeditions to nearby marine caves.
