La Jolla is famous for its art galleries. The Museum of Contemporary Art can be found on Prospect Street which is just a few blocks south of La Jolla Village. The museum is on a cliff and overlooks the ocean. Then there is the famous La Jolla Playhouse Theater and you can spend a relaxing evening there.
La Jolla’s coastline is much spoken about. You have the choice of walking along Coast Boulevard and watching pelicans skimming the surface of the gentle waves or roasting on the sandstone cliffs. If you want to see a family of seals lazing on the shore, all you need to do is go to the Children’s Pool Beach.
