This our first time to visit in La Jolla Cove, San Diego. Very beautiful and great experience to see a lot of sea lions even in hot day and also beautiful park next to the ocean just for relax with the kids or BBQ perhaps. Out side or before stop to see the seals, there're street mall branded such as...

This is a fantastic spot to get in the water. Snorkel, ocean swim, wade among the waves. It is not a wave jumping experience, but rather a gentle push that makes for clear views to the bottom with your mask, snorkel and fins. Don't blame the sea lions for making this home... I would too.
The cove is a little hard to find because you're going down a one lane road that looks like it's private but it was worth the searching. It was cloudy but the sun shining through the clouds as it set was beautiful.
If you're in La Jolla this is the first place you want to go. There are sea lions and pelicans on one side of the cove and a bunch of seals on the other side. The beach is perfect for swimming and the park is perfect for picnics and bbqs
We can see so close many sea lions near the shore. Kids were exciting to see them. It was really great experience to see wild sea lions here. The wave comes sometimes very high, so you had better to bring towel just in case.
The cove was close to our hotel (Grande Colonial) so it was a quick walk to see the seals along the sand catching sun.
Loved it here, so relaxing. It's great to see and hear the seals. When you're booking a trip to the west coast, then you definitely have to spent a day or two-three in San Diego. Such a different city from all the others in California. Ja Jolla cove is great to have a walk or a dip in the sea.
Not sure what all of the fuss is about. We were in San Diego pre-cruise for a few days and decided to go to La Jolla for the day. The smell was overpowering and we could not stay long.
Okay, I have to admit that the parking situation is a nightmare.,you often have to park a distance away and walk. But it has a beautiful view, a nice little beach with sea lions and a little jetty to get near the waves.
