CoastRentals Beach Vacation Blog

La Jolla, CA is one of the wealthiest locales in the United States. We’ve raved about it before on CoastRentals, and our weekend getaway to San Diego proved once again that La Jolla is one of the most beautiful places around. Lush hills covered in palm trees and large homes all surround a vibrant art community, upscale shopping, great dining, all under a never-ending blanket of sun.

Just a few miles north of downtown, taking the La Jolla Expressway exit west will land you where you need to be. This time around, my fellow travelers and I made a quick right turn after passing Hotel La Jolla and got to experience the northern beach of La Jolla. Talk about the nicest beach I’ve ever seen . . . wow. A great blend of sunbathers, surfers, families and the younger crowd all matriculate here.

After a few hours chilling in the sun and sand, I suggest heading downtown and peering into a few art galleries. There have to be 30+ of them within a few blocks, not to mention the La Jolla location of the Contemporary Art Museum. Grab a chai tea latte at the Living Room (where they show Fox Soccer Channel), and browse around town. You can eat pretty much anywhere and be satisfied, some of the restaurants even look out on La Jolla cove.

No trip to the San Diego area is complete without seeing the best the city has to offer, and oftentimes that leads you right to La Jolla.
