We had an absolute blast at La Jolla Shore Park! The scenery is stunning, and getting to see sea lions and seals up close was unforgettable. They were lounging on the rocks, swimming around, and put on quite the show — such an amazing experience, especially for the kids. The park was clean, easy to walk around, and perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or just soaking in the ocean views. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in the area. Can’t wait to come back!

Great park with available showers and restrooms. Park was clean and would make a great spot for an afternoon chill. Perfect for families looking for a good beach/park to relax and enjoy the SD weather. Parking can be tough on weekends.

The hardest part was getting there, tourists at our finest lol. The parking lot to beachfront is short and easy, can be a little bit of wait or circling for a spot. Came to stay all day. Showers and restrooms, lifeguards. It got crowded but not overly. Sea loins up the coast not far from beach, neat to see them. Beach was clean, people were kind. Lifeguards did a great job. Beautiful day.

Beautiful public beach, except the furthest hotel sent out a security guard and told us that this area of the BEACH IS PRIVATE, SO WHY DON'T THEY HAVE A SIGN AND PERMIT FROM THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO???? WE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES KICKED OUT!!! After walking from the pier to the EXCLUSIVE HOTEL WITH THEIR OWN PRIVATE BEACH, THIS HOTEL NEEDS TO BE ON A PRIVATE ISLAND, SO THEY CAN HAVE THEIR PRIVATE BEACH!!!

Beautiful beach with facilities to wash and clean after swimming, snorkeling, or surfing. Finding a parking space could be difficult after 9 AM and on weekends.

It’s a beautiful beachfront spot where you can easily walk and enjoy long strolls throughout the day. The area isn’t too big but feels open enough. Walking here during sunset and watching the palm trees is truly relaxing. If you stay at a nearby hotel, you can walk straight from your room to the beach. Restrooms and showers are free and cleaned regularly, but they’re not spotless. Parking is also free, but finding a spot can be tricky, so it’s best to come early. You can bring your own food and drinks and enjoy them comfortably while you’re here. Overall, it’s peaceful, safe and perfect for families and couples. Highly recommend spending a day just watching the ocean, listening to the waves and feeling the breeze. It’s a place that really calms your mind and lifts your spirit. 🌴✨

This is such a lovely place to visit. Paved walking path, plenty of benches or grass to relax on and take in the breath taking views

We spent the day in LA JOLLA, beginning at Harry's Coffee Shop, then we went to the Children's Pool and the Birch Aquarium. We then spent the day at the LA JOLLA SHORES PARK BEACH!!! I spent the time back on the Cement Bench, guarding our supplies, AND VALUABLES!!! As I understood it, my Niece spent the majority of the time in the water, but also collecting sea shells. It was a great outing for the FOUR OF US!!!

La Jolla Shores Park is located just north of Kellogg Park, adjacent to the La Jolla Shores Beach. Free parking for the beach and parks in La Jolla Shores Park. It's a short walk to La Jolla Shores shops, bars, and restaurants. The Park is one of my favorite places for enjoying the waterfront in San Diego. The are public restrooms at the north end of the park, and more just south of Kellogg Park. The Park tends to be crowded on weekends and most days in the summer. Plan your visit for early in the day or later in the afternoon.

One of my favorite beaches in San Diego. It is very well kept and clean. Great place to surf or just hangout!
