Description:
Visit the La Jolla Cove which is a tiny beach in between the nearby sandstone cliffs for its extraordinary beauty. This most photographed beach in Southern California is worth visiting for its tide pools. At high tides, the rocks on the sandy part of the beach trap water and leave behind a tide pool. Adults and kids alike love the idea of peering into them and enjoying around them. However, do check the tide times before you go to the beach, as the tide pools at La Jolla Cove can be enjoyed best at low tides.

With a loud dining DJ cart, make sure to sit close to your party as you might have trouble hearing over the beats of the bar - yet not so overpowering you feel lost.

Soledad, the historic spot that overlooks the ocean, the city's landscape and more - is worth every minute. On a sparkling day (which San Diego has many of), Mt. Soledad's view is breathtaking - from La Jolla's pristine beaches, downtown's skyscrapers, the Mission Beach bay and all the tiny people, this is a picture-perfect spot. In addition, the Mt. Soledad view pays memorium to the Veterans of the area, with a sky scraping cross and personal stories of the lives lost at war; an American flag plays toward a historic backdrop in these iconic pictures as well.

Description:
La Jolla's best -- and friendliest -- breakfast is served at this turn-of-the-20th-century bungalow. The cottage is light and airy, but most diners opt for tables outside, where a charming white picket fence encloses the trellis-shaded brick patio. Omelets and egg dishes feature Mediterranean, Cal-Latino, and classic American touches. Homemade granola is a favorite as well (it's even packaged and sold to take home). The Cottage also bakes its own muffins, rolls, and coffee cakes. While breakfast dishes are served all day, toward lunchtime the kitchen begins turning out freshly made, healthful soups, light meals, and sandwiches. Summer dinners (never heavy, always tasty) are a delight, particularly when you're seated before dark on a balmy seaside night. If you like what you taste, The Cottage sells a cookbook that includes many of its most popular recipes.

Description:
This is perhaps La Jolla's signature restaurant. It has it all: stunning ocean views, style, impeccable service, and above all, a world-class chef. Not resting on its considerable laurels, however, Georges closed briefly in early 2007, undergoing a $2.5-million renovation. It re-emerged with a slightly new name and a new design-forward environment. Most importantly, though, Trey Foshee can still be found in the kitchen. Foshee, named one of America's top 10 chefs by Food & Wine, has been set loose stylistically; there's a larger, more adventurous menu than before, incorporating more cross-cultural influences and still driven by the freshest local ingredients available. Fine food and incomparable views at more modest prices are upstairs at the Ocean Terrace and George's Bar. These two spaces offer indoor and outdoor seating, as well as food from the same kitchen as the pricey main dining room. Lunch is served here daily.
