The calm and clear waters here are great for kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Since there isn’t much sand here, it’s best suited for water sports. The La Jolla Kayak Tour is a popular option that starts at $39 per person. On this tour, visitors meet at La Jolla Shores Beach, tour all seven of the La Jolla Caves, and explore the La Jolla Ecological Reserve. The abundant marine life at the La Jolla Ecological Reserve also makes it a popular destination for snorkelers and scuba divers. If you want to stay on shore, you can still visit the La Jolla Caves. The largest cave, also known as the Sunny Jim Sea Cave, is located at La Jolla Cove which is only a 10-minute drive from La Jolla Shores Beach. It is accessible through a tunnel that starts in The Cave Store and takes visitors to a viewing platform inside the cave. The self-guided tour costs $25 for a group of 6 people and takes about 20 minutes to complete. Viewing slots fill up quickly during the high season, so be sure to buy your tickets ahead of time.
