La Jolla Trail

Wear good shoes. It's very slippery in spots. But worth the mini hike and views.

Beautiful light hiking area with sweeping views of the surrounding cliffs. Great place to catch the sunrise or sunset ???? no such thing as a bad view here. Make sure you pack out what you bring in!!! LEAVE NO TRACE! RESPECT MOTHER NATURE FOR ALL TO ENJOY PLEASE!

What a view! What a VIEW! Any one of those houses/mansions overlooking that trail is my dream house. A little bit of hills, little bit of valley, a little bit of beach, and a whole lot of ocean. Sunsets here are simply spectacular!

My 11 year old and I tried to hike down to the beach but it was too late to get all the way down. There are some serious drops and places where you have to "kiss the wall" to keep moving down the trail and after about 30 minutes we had to turn back. Go before 3 on if you want to get to the beach spend some time and return with natural light.

There is also a treck to the top of a hill overlooking the ocean. It seems easier although steep. Most people do it in their flip flops. Be prepared to get mud dusty on either trail.

Did not know how beautiful this beach is. The trails you can take are perfect and well hidden. This picture took me a bit to get too, but was so worth it.

Great adventure! I dragged my two teenagers with me on this trail. I was prepared to do some rock climbing and deal with a difficult trail just from reading comments about this path. I would advise you if you aren't down to climb and push your boundaries, don't do this trail. It may not be for you. We climbed up to the top of the cliff first, then back down and around to the beach. My girls (13 & 16) decided they didn't want to climb back out so we looped around using the paved path most of the surfers use to get down to the beach. We saw quite a few surfers with boards taking this path and I figured if they could do it, so could we! The top cliff had amazing views. We saw a couple bunnies, beautiful flowers and natural waterfalls flowing from the cliffs. It is a short trail that will get you down to the beach. The paved path over to the left towards the pier also has public bathrooms.
