La Jolla - California
|
Those of us living close to La Jolla feel fortunate to have such
an amazing kaleidoscope of places to see and things to do.
La Jolla's serenity is unmarred by frenzied factories, tooting trains
or frantic freeways. It is primarily a calm, quiet residential community
of single-family dwellings, garden apartments and the accompanying
service establishments.

| La Jolla is a wealthy community and many La Jollans motor about in Beamers, Mercedes, Ferraris and custom SUV's. Travelers from all over the world have acclaimed the comforts of La Jolla's luxurious hotels and motels and the cuisine of its many renowned restaurants. |
 |
La Jolla's distinctive shops are an index to the cosmopolitan tastes of residents and visitors alike, offering a wide selection from the markets of the entire world. Each year, the La Jolla Chamber Music Society presents its annual "Summerfest," which features twelve chamber music concerts beginning in August and are performed at the accoustically great Sherwood Hall located within the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. | |
| In September, the annual "Art Festival" is held in the Village of La Jolla and features juried art work, live entertainment, gourmet food and activities for the children. Connoisseurs of art, devotees of drama and music can gratify their interests through many private galleries and can attend concerts by world renowned artists presented by the Musical Arts Society. Both plays and concerts can be viewed at the Mandell Weiss Center For The Performing Arts on the University of California At San Diego Campus. |
| La Jolla is rightly proud of its fine modern Scripps Memorial Hospital and the internationally famous Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation. Many noted physicians, research scientists, engineers, architects and educators live and practice in La Jolla. |
| The primary and secondary school system is one of the finest in California and are under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Unified School District. There are several excellent private schools. The University of California is comprised of four separate campuses that are located on 1200 acres of beautiful coastal woodland that borders La Jolla's ocean bluffs. Scripps Institution of Oceanography is also part of the University and is a center of world research on the secrets of the seas. |

The Stephen Birch Aquarium,
featuring extensive exhibits of native sea life and the world renown
Salk Institute for Biological Studies
both occupy sites near the University. At La Jolla Shores, north of the Village, there is a long gradual beach where everyone can enjoy the surf in safety. There are fire rings for beach parties and a playground for children. In the Village area, the La Jolla Cove is great for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. |
 |
Divers enjoy exploring La Jolla's Underwater Park, a California State Ecological Reserve, located just off the Cove beach. | |
| On the second Sunday in September, the Cove is the site of the annual Rough Water Swim which attracts more than 1400 race entrants. If you don't swim, treat yourself to a walk along Coast Walk and watch the pelicans fly by in their caravans or enjoy the seals frolicking at Seal Rock and lately, at the Children's Pool. One of the best surfing beaches along the West Coast, Windansea, is located at the end of Nautilus Street between the Village and Bird Rock. |
