La Jolla Cove
We took a trip to La Jolla Cove, north of San Diego this weekend to check out the beach and wildlife. La Jolla Cove has a fascinating past that dates back centuries, with its name originating from the Spanish word "La Joya," meaning "the jewel." The Kumeyaay people, the area's original inhabitants, cherished this coastal haven for its abundance of natural resources.
Fast forward to the early 20th century, and La Jolla Cove began to gain popularity as a beachside retreat, attracting artists, writers, and intellectuals seeking inspiration from its awe-inspiring landscapes. The development of the area saw the rise of quaint cottages and charming seaside establishments, shaping La Jolla Cove into the charming enclave it is today. There were tons of beautiful photography galleries in the main area, and we found the not so hidden gem of the sea cave! It was definitely worth the $10 per person, but the gift shop was a bit lackluster.
We also checked out Black’s Beach with amazing vistas and hanggliders. The walk down the cliffs was very cool, however, the remote beach below is a nude beach, which was a surprise! It was a huge walk back.
