La Jolla Cove: A Friendly Guide to San Diego's Most Picturesque Beach

History and significance, early settlement.

La Jolla Cove has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century when it was first settled by Europeans. The area was originally inhabited by the Kumeyaay people, who were displaced by the Spanish in the late 1700s. The Spanish established a small settlement in the area, which was later taken over by the Mexicans in the early 1800s. In 1850, California became a state, and La Jolla Cove became a part of the United States.

Development of La Jolla Cove

In the late 1800s, La Jolla Cove began to emerge as a popular seaside destination. The neighborhood's name, “La Jolla,” originates from the Spanish word for “jewel,” a fitting tribute to its picturesque beauty. The development of La Jolla Cove was driven by its scenic allure, drawing wealthy residents from San Diego and beyond. In 1902, the first hotel was built in the area, and by 1910, La Jolla Cove had become a thriving resort community.

Landmarks and Monuments

La Jolla Cove is home to several landmarks and monuments that reflect its rich history. The Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier, located at the north end of the Cove, was built in 1916 and is still used for research and recreational fishing. The Children's Pool, located just south of the Cove, was originally built as a safe swimming area for children in 1931. The area is now home to a colony of harbor seals, which has led to controversy and legal battles over the use of the beach.

Overall, La Jolla Cove has played an important role in the history of San Diego and is a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. Its natural beauty, rich history, and landmarks make it a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to the area.

Reviews of la jolla cove, 2/5 - disappointing.

Don't go on the weekend. Poor parking available.

5/5 - Excellent

Wonderful area, great place to stay. Many shops and resturant within walking distance. If you are needing a car service, Lyft seemed to be considerably cheaper than Uber in this area.

A must visit. With family or for romantic.

It was really stinky. Parking was difficult. Not worth the stop.

Take a walk at sunrise, the crowds are light, but the seals are still out.

Nothing else smells like it... be sure to look where all the people are. IF you end up at Children's Pool expecting to see a ton of sea lions and only see a ton of people enjoying the beach, then go up or down the coast more to other coves. You should find a spot with 15 or more seals / sea lions on any given day.... listen for the barking (and follow the smell).

7 Fantastic Spots To Go Snorkeling In San Diego

S an Diego gets plenty of recognition for its idyllic beaches and rugged coastline, but many don’t give credit for its fantastic snorkeling. 

It may come as a surprise to you that snorkeling in San Diego is one of the best ways to enjoy a beach visit. Colorful marine life, huge kelp beds, and sea caves are all waiting to be explored. And did you know that you can even snorkel with sharks in San Diego? Each summer, leopard sharks come to La Jolla to hatch their young and snorkeling is the best way to see them. Don’t worry, they are totally harmless. You should still keep your distance and never touch or disturb them in other ways.

We’ve created a comprehensive guide for eager snorkelers heading to San Diego. Most of the snorkeling spots are located in the neighborhood of La Jolla , but there are some San Diego snorkeling spots closer to downtown as well. This article is complete with the top snorkeling spots, must-do tours, and the best-rated equipment and everything else you might want to know about snorkeling in San Diego. 

Best Spots To Go Snorkeling In San Diego

La jolla cove.

La Jolla Cove is, without a doubt, San Diego’s most famed spot for snorkeling. A title it most definitely deserves.

Part of the La Jolla Underwater Park , during summer, enhanced visibility in this underwater park allows snorkelers to swim with leopard sharks and vibrant garibaldi fish. The sea lions which lounge by the rocks may even join you!

You can rest easy knowing that lifeguards are permanently stationed here, making it a safe spot to explore for confident swimmers.

You can find paid parking at the nearby La Jolla Financial Building. For those who arrive early enough, you should be able to snag free street parking for up to 2 – 3 hours. Don’t stay underwater too long or risk a hefty fine for overstaying your parking limits.

La Jolla Shores Beach

Staying in La Jolla but heading a bit further north is La Jolla Shores.

La Jolla Shores is a family-friendly beach where kids can get in on the snorkeling action thanks to calm conditions and shallow waters. 

You have the option to bring your own gear or rent some from one of the many snorkel rental spots in the neighborhood.

Easily accessed behind the Marine Room restaurant, swimmers can dive by the kelp beds and spot the sting rays that frequent the waters.

Similar to La Jolla Cove, this area tends to get busy later in the day. Start your day early and find a space at the free parking lot right on the beachfront. 

Turtle Town

There are no prizes for guessing why this spot in La Jolla’s marine sanctuary got its name. Turtle Town is home to adorable young and old sea turtles swimming alongside schools of brightly colored fish.

Known as one of San Diego’s closely guarded secrets, it’s easy to see why it’s gotten this reputation, it can be notoriously tricky to find.

Between The Marine Room restaurant and La Jolla Cove, look out for red and green kelp plants, where the turtles tend to congregate.

Due to its hard-to-reach location, this spot is best for avid snorkelers and strong swimmers. This spot isn’t recommended for little ones. 

Seven Sea Caves

Yet another La Jolla snorkeling hot spot is the Seven Sea Caves. These are located just east of La Jolla Cove and consist of seven uniquely named caves that line the coast.

Join the halibut, mackerel, and rays which spend their days swimming beside caves named Clam, Shopping Cart, and Jim.

Accessed from the same entry points as Turtle Town, this is also a popular spot for swimmers and kayakers . This spot is best explored through group tours which can guide you to the safest sites. Additionally, it’s advisable to leave the younger snorkelers at home for this one.

Devil’s Slide

Close to the Seven Sea Caves is Devil’s Slide, which is a relatively challenging place for a San Diego snorkeling experience.

Though the waters are shallow, this area sits at the base of the sea cliffs, making it difficult to reach.

Small fish, like zebra perch and anchovies, can be found along the cliffside, while sea lions and rays are also commonly spotted. With a bit of luck, snorkelers can cast their eyes on horn sharks and octopuses.

If you’re not the strongest of swimmers, Devil’s Slide may not be the safest choice. Especially as it’s not the most accessible area for lifeguards.

Mission Point Beach

We’re moving away from snorkeling in La Jolla this time and heading further south towards downtown. Cue chilled-out Mission Point Park. 

Located on Mission Bay, the beach here has some of the most pleasant waters for snorkeling in San Diego.

Its warm and calm conditions make it the perfect place to take the kids.

Often an underrated spot for a glimpse of marine life, you won’t have to worry about getting here early. There are plenty of free parking lots nearby.

Park up and take to the sea, where you’ll find kelp fish, senoritas, eels, and octopus.

Shell Beach And Boomer Beach

It’s clear by now that La Jolla is home to the majority of San Diego’s most desirable snorkeling spots. For this reason, it can be difficult to avoid the crowds which flock to the most well-known locations. 

Just north of Children’s Pool Beach are the quieter Shell and Boomer beaches. These spots have no stairs down to the shore, requiring a little climbing. But the result is a much more peaceful beach when you get to the end.

Swim out until you reach the kelp beds, where you can swim amongst friendly sea lions and countless sardines.

If luck is on your side, you may cross paths with a migrating grey whale or even see harbor seals chilling out.

Due to the challenging climb down and the rougher seas, snorkeling here is only recommended for experienced swimmers.
