Coast Beach Shopping Parks

A picturesque beach area with amazing views, La Jolla Shores sits about two miles north of La Jolla's downtown area. Life in this neighborhood revolves around the beach, where you can surf, paddle board, scuba dive, or kick back in the sun. If you want to see what it looks like underneath the water, visit the La Jolla Underwater Park, a sea lion hangout and a great place for snorkeling.

Expect to see well-designed houses near the water, along with a few apartment buildings farther inland. The neighborhood's dining scene combines the usual cafes and taco shops found at the beach with luxurious restaurants matching the neighborhood's vibe. The Marine Room, a French restaurant, sits right on the water. It doesn't take much to find a fun place to shop in La Jolla Shores. Surf and beachwear shops, such as the eclectic Ocean Girl, line Avenida De La Playa.
