Everything that California is famous for can be found in La Jolla (the Jewel). It offers all the amenities of a big city while retaining the feeling of a smaller resort community. In downtown La Jolla you will still find many family owned businesses, art galleries, boutiques, antique shops, unique clothing and jewelry stores. Or, just minutes away you can find world class shopping, resorts, entertainment, dining, outdoor recreation and theme parks. Walk the exquisite beaches of La Jolla and watch sea lions and seals frolicking in the waves. The town of La Jolla is also home to a large salt-water aquarium, and championship golf courses overlooking the Pacific Ocean are just minutes away.
