About La Jolla, California

County
San Diego County
Coastal Region
North-central San Diego coast
Coastal Setting
A varied coastline of coves, reefs, cliffs and sandy beaches

La Jolla has one of San Diego’s most varied coastal settings, with rocky points, reefs, coves and sandy beaches facing different directions. Conditions can differ noticeably from one nearby beach to another because local exposure and coastal shape matter.

Seasonal pattern: Summer south swells and winter west-to-northwest swells can favor different parts of the La Jolla coastline, while water temperature usually peaks later in summer.
