La Jolla Cove
This beautiful stretch along the shoreline is known for its beaches, views and the La Jolla caves. Swimming, tidepooling, snorkeling and scuba diving are fabulous. Visitors should be reminded, however, that much of the cove is a wildlife preserve, which means you can look but not disturb or remove anything from the area.

A survivor of the Ice Age, the Torrey pine is one of the oldest trees in the world. Existing only here and on Santa Rosa Island, nearly 3,000 of the pines have been set on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Seven miles of trails wander through the cliffs, providing excellent views of the wind-sculpted trees along the coast.
