THE COVE

One of La Jolla’s best-known spots is The Cove. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Catalina Island and Dana Point or you can just relax and watch the swimmers. From Torrey Pines Road, take Prospect Street and follow the signs to 1100 Coast Blvd. If you’re in the Village, take Prospect Street to Girard Avenue and walk down the hill.
