La Jolla Shores Park, Coastal park in La Jolla, United States.
La Jolla Shores Park is a coastal park with a long sandy beach, wide grass areas, and an ocean-themed playground. Various spaces for recreation, picnicking, and water activities spread throughout the grounds.
The park received a bronze sculpture in 1997 honoring a gray whale named JJ that was rescued from captivity. This memorial reflects the importance of ocean protection to the community.
The plaza along the waterfront displays a large mosaic featuring marine creatures and teaches visitors about local ocean life. People gather here to learn about coastal wildlife and photograph the artistic displays.
