Windansea Beach

Beach · San Diego

@cntraveler

"A well-known, yet tucked-away surf spot with strong waves in La Jolla. Strong waves, big rocks, and a required climb to access make for an untamed gem of a beach. After your day at the beach, follow surfers to The Shack Bar & Grill—named after the Windansea surf shack—for fish tacos and a pint. This isn't a laid back beach and swimming here is not advised because of the big wave breaks. There are no public restrooms or other facilities and those in the water are skilled surfers only. Be aware that Windansea is a popular destination for wedding ceremonies and photos, particularly because of its historic palm-covered surf shack that can be used as an arch or canopy." - Marie Tutko, Archana Ram
