Best Neighborhood Park in La Jolla! I come here regularly and treat it with respect…read more There are regular Yoga and Taiji Quan (Tai Chi) Classes for every level!

OBSESSED! I came here when I first moved to SD and somehow forgot just how gorgeous this park is…read more I've been back twice recently and just soaked it all in. The weather was perfect, sun was out and it was one of those places where it's easy to lose track of time. Sooo soo peaceful ! One disclaimer.. be careful where you walk and where you step. There's a pretty big gap between the grass and the edge of the pavement in one area that is easily hidden. I wasn't paying attention, tripped and scraped both of my knees. Thankfully my ankle ended up being okay after icing it at home. Be careful lol. There's so much space in the park so don't worry about nabbing a great spot. Bring a blanket or beach chair, have a picnic, take in the city views, or just sit and relax for a while. Before you get all the way up the main overlook, there's a large flat grassy area before you enter that looked perfect for birthday parties or small get togethers. Both times I visited were during the day and it wasn't crowded. I did see quite a few people sunbathing lol don't think I've ever seen that at a park before. If you're looking for a peaceful spot to unwind and enjoy some of the best views in San Diego, definitely make some time for Kate Sessions Park!

This was my second time visiting this park, and I absolutely love it. The views are breathtaking,…read moreand the atmosphere is so peaceful. I enjoy bringing a blanket, relaxing on the grass, and looking up at the beautiful sky. It's the perfect place to spend some quiet time alone or gather with family and friends. Both times I've visited, I was able to find parking at the top without having to circle around, and there's also street parking available. The park is very clean, well-maintained, and has a playground for kids. I highly recommend this park if you're looking for a peaceful place to relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy some beautiful views.

There's plenty of climbing, sliding, swinging, balance type apparatus to work on gross and fine motor skills. It's also nice to have little kids sized table and benches and our kids were able to enjoy snack there. We also enjoyed the big field where they can run around. The grass seemed well maintained and we didn't have issues with dog poo.

Kellogg Park in La Jolla is absolutely beautiful and has some of the best coastal views in the…read morearea. The location is stunning, right along the water with incredible ocean scenery, dramatic cliffs, and plenty of spots to sit and take it all in. On a clear day, the views are unreal and it really does feel like a postcard version of Southern California. That said, it is extremely crowded. Between tourists, families, photographers, and people stopping to watch the seals and sea lions, it can feel packed, especially mid day and on weekends. Parking can be challenging and the constant foot traffic takes away a bit from the peaceful, relaxing vibe you might be hoping for. If you don't mind crowds or are visiting for the first time, it's still 100 percent worth seeing. Just be prepared for lots of people and limited personal space. Go early in the morning or closer to sunset if you want a slightly calmer experience. Beautiful park, incredible views, but the crowds knock it down to four stars.

I wasn't aware that this place was here, but I had just finished an appointment in the area and figured I'd check it out. Glad it did. I found a table to do some writing and update my planner. There is also a playground for the kiddos. I came during a busier time in the late afternoon so parking was busy, but there was always someone leaving so snagging a spot wasn't too much of a hassle. Nice place to relax!

Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial is a significant tribute to our nation's veterans. The…read moresite offers incredible 360 degree views of San Diego County and the Pacific Ocean. The pinnacle of the Memorial is a massive white cross at the summit of the hill. Granite plaques, highlighting 3000 sponsored veterans, encircle the cross. Accessible walkways allow viewing of each of the highlighted veterans. U.S. flags and white rose bushes adorn the site. Panels around the monument describe the site, donors and controversy regarding the cross on public lands. The artistic cross was added in 1996 after court battles. Veterans can be added to the granite wall for fees around $3000 each for engraving. Information pamphlets are available at the site. Several benches are available for relaxing. Parking is somewhat limiting, but we were able to find a space. There are no restroom or other facilities at the site. Admission is free, but donations are requested.

SD is incredible, and La Jolla the gem in its crown. Many reviewers are confused about this spot,…read morehowever. Scripps Coastal Reserve is not a beach and it is not a hiking trail. Technically, its a small plot of land that serves as a public access coastal view point. It's only a four minute walk from the entrance to the bluff. You'll stand atop a steep cliff with amazing views to the ocean and beaches below. This sandy loop also offers info about local flora. Look up for views of birds (particularly the rare Peregrine falcon!) and soaring hang gliders. Areas are roped off for safety reasons - lots of erosion in this area- so you might want to watch the sunset from La Jolla Shores beach instead, just down the street.

The beach is amazing and the playground is newly renovated (summer 2025). There are swings, a cool whale statue, and a decent sized play structure. There's also a huge grassy area with picnic tables, public restrooms and out door showers to wash off sand. The only downside to this park is parking. If you plan on coming here during summer, you better get there early (before 10 AM) because the parking lot gets filled up fast.

I came here at 6:45am and was able to find parking literally right at the cove, so come early, its worth it. Lots of wildlife hanging out there. I saw a bunch of sea lions sleeping, tons of cormorants and lots of badass pelicans flying and scooping down for food. By 7am, I was in the water and there were already plenty of people here. I tried out my wetsuit with all my gear and everything worked well. I wasn't too hot in my 4/3 wetsuits. Visibility was crap today and couldn't see much. I'll have to come back again to see if visibility improves. I got out in 30 minutes, no point wasting time with cloudiness. I used the local showers to get the sand and saltwater off myself and gear. Public bathrooms also available. After getting out, I walked around a bit and it was a lovely day. Beautiful area, no wonder everyone likes coming here. I'll be back!

They have never been to La Jolla so I decided to take them to go see the sunset at La Jolla Cove... It was also my FIRST TIME visiting the cove as well. First thing I noticed that was a challenge is... PARKING: Very challenging! If you have the time. Wait and follow people who are leaving or ask them if they are leaving and follow them to their parking spot. That's how we got parking... PENGUINS: So adorable! So many of them!! SEA LIONS: 10/10 For entertainment and humor! Making all those weird noises really lighten up the cove! SMELL: 4/10 It really stinks! It smells like sewage and salt... SUNSET: 10/10 Totally worth the wait. The sun sets at around 7:30pm. Lots of people were taking pictures... We then walked over to CRAB CITY for dinner!! And HAGEN DAZ FOR dessert!!!
