About La Jolla
Located just 12 miles north of downtown San Diego, La Jolla is not only ideally situated along 7 miles of beautiful, curving Pacific Ocean coastline, but it also rises as high as 800 feet to the peak of Mount Soledad.
One of the most beautiful places in the entire world to live, La Jolla’s home to near-perfect, year-round weather, gorgeous beaches, stunning views, practically unlimited recreational and sporting opportunities, world-class education, highly ranked health care systems, magnificent arts and entertainment facilities and a variety of exceptional dining and shopping options.
Though it is often considered to be a city unto itself (for example, “La Jolla, CA” is used when sending mail), La Jolla is actually a part of the city of San Diego.
Often referred to as “The Jewel” (from the Spanish translation of “La Joya”), spend any amount of time here and you will quickly come to know that’s exactly what La Jolla is!
