occupying 7 miles of curving coastline along the Pacific Ocean and is known to have had the highest home prices in the nation. With an average daily temperature of 70 degrees and miles of sandy beaches, La Jolla is one of my favorite places to visit any time of the year.Within La Jolla is a neighborhood of Torrey Pines which is famous for its golf course. Torrey Pines Golf Course sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Golfers are treated to one of the most breathtaking and picturesque views the Pacific Ocean has to offer. Yearly, Torrey Pines Golf Course hosts the PGA Tour and brings in golfer legends such as Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
The main area known as the Village of La Jolla offers restaurants, cafes, small boutique shops as well as brand names shops and art galleries. Local ice cream shops offer delicious flavors that will tempt even the pickiest eaters.
A small beach is located right next to where the seals rest and play. The beach can only be accessed on foot. Once on sand, you can enjoy the afternoon sun bathing while reading a good book or take a friend out on the water for an afternoon of snorkeling.
Above the small beach is Scripps Park where you will surely find visitors and locals alike, lounging on their favorite beach chairs as they patiently wait for the sun to set. Local vendors sit under their unbrellas as they happilly display their "I LOVE LA JOLLA" tshirts and hats. A day is simply not enough time to fully appreciate all that La Jolla has to offer.
