Description

With small surf in the summer months, this north-facing cove suits swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers, with water visibility that can sometimes exceed 30 feet. The area lies within the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve, where fishing, removing objects, and possessing game are prohibited. It is also one of nine beaches with a permanent lifeguard station patrolled by San Diego Lifeguards, and ranks as one of the most photographed coastal stretches in Southern California.
