Top Camping Beaches in La Jolla, California
Located along the La Jolla shoreline, La Jolla Cove Beach is a small yet immensely popular beach with light brown sand. This north-facing beach is situated within a rocky cove - named the La Jolla Cove - below the northeastern part of a blufftop park called the Ellen Browning Scripps Park. There is a rocky point near the western part of La Jolla Cove Beach which protects the water near this beach from strong waves, making it a favorite spot for snorkelers and scuba divers. The bluff sides around the beach are composed of sandstone, and the view of La Jolla Cove is simply breathtaking, especially from nearby Torrey Pines.
Located only an 8-minute drive north of downtown La Jolla, La Jolla Shores beach is popular with families and active beachgoers because of its endless activities and many amenities including lifeguards, restrooms, and showers.
