Boasting one of the most pleasant climates in the world (averaging in the low 70s) and some of the most famous beaches, La Jolla has become Southern California’s Riviera. Carved out of La Jolla’s sandstone cliffs by centuries of wave impact and designated an underwater nature preserve, La Jolla Cove offers excellent swimming, beachcombing, and scuba diving.
