Translated, La Jolla means "the jewel", which is an
apt name for a splendid and beautiful town full of
blue water. One of California's best oceanside
towns, La Jolla is also home to many of the best
beaches in the state.
When you visit, you'll notice that there are many things to do. If your
looking for something to do, here are 5 great things to occupy your time
and, possibly, get
some exercise at the same time):
1. Beaches - When you
hear that San Diego has great beaches, it's the truth. La Jolla Cave, La
Jolla Shores, and Windansea are the best in San Diego, and possibly even
the state.
2. Birch Aquarium - Although it's a small aquarium,
it's packed with a lot of interesting stuff and best of all - it won't
wear you out.
3. La Jolla Playhouse - This theater company is
highly known around the world.
4. Walking tour - Hike Bike Kayak
will offer you a splendid one hour tour that focuses on the beauty and
splendor of the La Jolla Coast and the history of the city.
5.
Kayaking - The Hike Bike Kayak company also offers a tour of the La
Jolla sea caves, with no experience required.
A weekend trip to
La Jolla is an excellent time to enjoy a leisurely brunch. The Cottage
serves great cruisine in a beach bungalow atmosphere, while the Marine
Room at the Sea Lodge was voted the best Sunday brunch in the area
several times in a row. If your looking for a simple breakfast, with
great views and few tourists, follow Coast Blvd. to the Goldfish Point
Cafe.
For a getaway for the weekend, La Jolla is a hard place to
beat. There's plenty to do here, with the beaches in the summer. If you
visit on hot days, you'll spend a majority of your time on the beaches -
and loving every minute of it.
