À quoi s'attendre
1
La Jolla
90 Minute Tour of La Jolla's Prospect Street, La Jolla Cove, Children's Pool and more!
2
Girard Avenue and Prospect Street
Our tour will begin with a short walk up Prospect Street to Girard Avenue. Along the way I will briefly explain the history of San Diego, and how La Jolla began as artist's resort called "The Green Dragon Colony." We will also walk past several art galleries, shops and restaurants. You will see historic hotels build in the early 1900s including The Grande Colonial and La Valencia.
3
Murals of La Jolla
As we continue on Prospect Street we will be able to see a few of the "Murals of La Jolla". Murals of La Jolla was conceived in 2010 as a means to enhance the civic character of the community by commissioning public art projects throughout La Jolla. The project's innovative approach expands the definition of the traditional public mural structure by reimagining how to utilize private property as an opportune space for public art. The unique print-based process opens up the possibility of working with a larger sector of multi-disciplinary artists, creating an outdoor exhibition of works from many notable local, national and international artists. There are currently 14 murals on view and the project has commissioned 39 artworks to date. It is a project of the Athenaeum initiated by the La Jolla Community Foundation.
4
Sunny Jim Cave
As we approach the Coast Walk Trail we will stop at The Cave Store to see the entrance to Sunny Jim's Sea Cave. This tunnel was dug out by two Chinese laborers hired by German artist, mining engineer, and entrepreneur Gustav Schultz in 1902. It leads from the Cave Store, Schultz's original residence, down through the sandstone cliffs of La Jolla Cove and into Sunny Jim's Sea Cave. It's been said that during Prohibition, bootleggers smuggled alcohol and opium into San Diego through the sea cave by carrying it through this tunnel! We will not enter the cave on this tour, but you can choose to come back after the tour if you want to make the trip!
5
La Jolla Caves
After we leave the Cave store, We will visit the Coast Walk Trail. This trail is directly above the 7 La Jolla Sea Caves and provides breathtaking views of the Southern California coastline. Along the trail you will see and learn about the secret swing and Rose Canyon fault line, and hear how the current UCSD campus used to be an artillery range during WW1` and WW2.
6
La Jolla Underwater Park
From the Coast Walk Trail, we will get a great view of the The San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park which spans 6,000 acres (24 km2) of ocean bottom and tidelands. The park's four distinct habitats (rocky reef, kelp bed, sand flats, and submarine canyon) make it a popular destination for snorkelers and scuba divers. The park was created by the City of San Diego in 1970 and actually has two other parks within it: the "look but don't touch" Ecological Reserve and the Marine Life Refuge.
7
La Jolla Cove
La Jolla Cove Beach is located at the northeast end of Ellen Browning Scripps Park. This historic beach has been a popular spot for over 125 years. I will show you some photos of the exact location we will be standing, showing the hills above the cove in the late 1800s. You'll see only the very first beach cottages present in the photos and see which ones are still standing today!
8
Ellen Browning Scripps Park
As we walk along the seawall Ellen Browning Scripps Park will be to the left. You'll learn how Ellen's contributions helped put La Jolla and San Diego on the map. But the main attraction will be the sea lions. June, July and August are especially good months to visit this area as it's the pupping season. You will be able to see baby sea lions from a safe viewing distance during these months!
9
Shell Beach Tide Pools
Shell Beach La Jolla is popular with locals and tourists for its tide pools, small sandy beach, shells, and picturesque terrain. We'll Be able to get a great view from the seawall above!
10
Coast Boulevard Park
As we approach the Children's Pool we will be able to see Coast Boulevard Park to the south. This small stretch of grass and sand overlooking the sea is situated between Coast Boulevard and the Pacific Ocean. It's known as the "Wedding Bowl" due to its popularity as an outdoor wedding venue. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is just up the street.
11
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
Founded in 1941 as The Art Center in La Jolla, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) has evolved into an organization of national and international renown. This location was the former residence of Ellen Browning Scripps and is easily identified by the huge cluster of boats coming out of the roof! We will be able to see this amazing building from our final stop at the Children's Pool.
12
Children's Pool
Our final stop will be at the famous Children's Pool, originally an area in San Diego designated for children to swim. In 1932, a seawall was built to protect the shore from oncoming waves, making it the ideal spot for children to paddle without danger. While the Children's Pool in La Jolla provides a swimming spot suitable for children, the conditions also prove to be idylic for harbor seals and sea lions. Seal Rock, which is located just north of the beach is home to hundreds of seals, and its close proximity to the Children's Pool La Jolla has increased seal interest in the pool area. Seals have since come to the La Jolla Children's Pool to bathe, bask and even give birth to their seal pups. The introduction of these seals to the Children's Pool in La Jolla has caused recent controversy over whether the beach should be preserved for the marine life or for the children. We will be able to walk on the seawall as long as conditions permit.

The park was created by the City of San Diego in 1970 and actually has two other parks within it: the "look but don't touch" Ecological Reserve and the Marine Life Refuge.
67
La Jolla Cove
La Jolla Cove Beach is located at the northeast end of Ellen Browning Scripps Park. This historic beach has been a popular spot for over 125 years. I will show you some photos of the exact location we will be standing, showing the hills above the cove in the late 1800s. You'll see only the very first beach cottages present in the photos and see which ones are still standing today!
68
Ellen Browning Scripps Park
As we walk along the seawall Ellen Browning Scripps Park will be to the left. You'll learn how Ellen's contributions helped put La Jolla and San Diego on the map. But the main attraction will be the sea lions. June, July and August are especially good months to visit this area as it's the pupping season. You will be able to see baby sea lions from a safe viewing distance during these months!
69
Shell Beach Tide Pools
Shell Beach La Jolla is popular with locals and tourists for its tide pools, small sandy beach, shells, and picturesque terrain. We'll Be able to get a great view from the seawall above!
70
Coast Boulevard Park
As we approach the Children's Pool we will be able to see Coast Boulevard Park to the south. This small stretch of grass and sand overlooking the sea is situated between Coast Boulevard and the Pacific Ocean. It's known as the "Wedding Bowl" due to its popularity as an outdoor wedding venue. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is just up the street.
71
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
Founded in 1941 as The Art Center in La Jolla, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) has evolved into an organization of national and international renown. This location was the former residence of Ellen Browning Scripps and is easily identified by the huge cluster of boats coming out of the roof! We will be able to see this amazing building from our final stop at the Children's Pool.
72
Children's Pool
Our final stop will be at the famous Children's Pool, originally an area in San Diego designated for children to swim. In 1932, a seawall was built to protect the shore from oncoming waves, making it the ideal spot for children to paddle without danger. While the Children's Pool in La Jolla provides a swimming spot suitable for children, the conditions also prove to be idylic for harbor seals and sea lions. Seal Rock, which is located just north of the beach is home to hundreds of seals, and its close proximity to the Children's Pool La Jolla has increased seal interest in the pool area. Seals have since come to the La Jolla Children's Pool to bathe, bask and even give birth to their seal pups. The introduction of these seals to the Children's Pool in La Jolla has caused recent controversy over whether the beach should be preserved for the marine life or for the children. We will be able to walk on the seawall as long as conditions permit.
73
La Jolla
90 Minute Tour of La Jolla's Prospect Street, La Jolla Cove, Children's Pool and more!
74
Girard Avenue and Prospect Street
Our tour will begin with a short walk up Prospect Street to Girard Avenue. Along the way I will briefly explain the history of San Diego, and how La Jolla began as artist's resort called "The Green Dragon Colony." We will also walk past several art galleries, shops and restaurants. You will see historic hotels build in the early 1900s including The Grande Colonial and La Valencia.
75
Murals of La Jolla
As we continue on Prospect Street we will be able to see a few of the "Murals of La Jolla". Murals of La Jolla was conceived in 2010 as a means to enhance the civic character of the community by commissioning public art projects throughout La Jolla. The project's innovative approach expands the definition of the traditional public mural structure by reimagining how to utilize private property as an opportune space for public art. The unique print-based process opens up the possibility of working with a larger sector of multi-disciplinary artists, creating an outdoor exhibition of works from many notable local, national and international artists. There are currently 14 murals on view and the project has commissioned 39 artworks to date. It is a project of the Athenaeum initiated by the La Jolla Community Foundation.
76
Sunny Jim Cave
As we approach the Coast Walk Trail we will stop at The Cave Store to see the entrance to Sunny Jim's Sea Cave. This tunnel was dug out by two Chinese laborers hired by German artist, mining engineer, and entrepreneur Gustav Schultz in 1902. It leads from the Cave Store, Schultz's original residence, down through the sandstone cliffs of La Jolla Cove and into Sunny Jim's Sea Cave. It's been said that during Prohibition, bootleggers smuggled alcohol and opium into San Diego through the sea cave by carrying it through this tunnel! We will not enter the cave on this tour, but you can choose to come back after the tour if you want to make the trip!
77
La Jolla Caves
After we leave the Cave store, We will visit the Coast Walk Trail. This trail is directly above the 7 La Jolla Sea Caves and provides breathtaking views of the Southern California coastline.

La Jolla
Visite de 90 minutes de la rue Prospect de La Jolla, de La Jolla Cove, de la piscine pour enfants et plus encore!
98
Avenue Girard et rue Prospect
Notre visite commencera par une courte promenade sur Prospect Street jusqu'à Girard Avenue. En cours de route, j'expliquerai brièvement l'histoire de San Diego et comment La Jolla a commencé comme station balnéaire d'artistes appelée "The Green Dragon Colony". Nous passerons également devant plusieurs galeries d'art, boutiques et restaurants. Vous verrez des hôtels historiques construits au début des années 1900, notamment The Grande Colonial et La Valencia.
99
Peintures murales de La Jolla
En continuant sur Prospect Street, nous pourrons voir quelques-unes des "Murals of La Jolla". Les peintures murales de La Jolla ont été conçues en 2010 comme un moyen de renforcer le caractère civique de la communauté en commandant des projets d'art public dans La Jolla. L'approche innovante du projet élargit la définition de la structure murale publique traditionnelle en réimaginant comment utiliser la propriété privée comme un espace opportun pour l'art public. Le processus unique basé sur l'impression ouvre la possibilité de travailler avec un plus grand secteur d'artistes multidisciplinaires, créant une exposition extérieure d'œuvres de nombreux artistes locaux, nationaux et internationaux notables. Il y a actuellement 14 peintures murales exposées et le projet a commandé 39 œuvres d'art à ce jour. C'est un projet de l'Athenaeum initié par la La Jolla Community Foundation.

Grotte ensoleillée de Jim
À l'approche du Coast Walk Trail, nous nous arrêterons à The Cave Store pour voir l'entrée de la grotte marine de Sunny Jim. Ce tunnel a été creusé par deux ouvriers chinois embauchés par l'artiste allemand, ingénieur minier et entrepreneur Gustav Schultz en 1902. Il mène du Cave Store, la résidence d'origine de Schultz, à travers les falaises de grès de La Jolla Cove et dans la grotte marine de Sunny Jim. . On dit que pendant la Prohibition, des contrebandiers ont introduit clandestinement de l'alcool et de l'opium à San Diego par la grotte marine en les transportant à travers ce tunnel ! Nous n'entrerons pas dans la grotte lors de cette visite, mais vous pouvez choisir de revenir après la visite si vous souhaitez faire le voyage !
101
Grottes de La Jolla
Après avoir quitté le magasin Cave, nous visiterons le Coast Walk Trail. Ce sentier se trouve directement au-dessus des 7 grottes marines de La Jolla et offre une vue imprenable sur la côte sud de la Californie. Le long du sentier, vous découvrirez et découvrirez la balançoire secrète et la ligne de faille de Rose Canyon, et découvrirez comment le campus actuel de l'UCSD était autrefois un champ de tir d'artillerie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale et la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
102
Parc sous-marin de La Jolla
Depuis le Coast Walk Trail, nous aurons une vue magnifique sur le parc sous-marin de San Diego-La Jolla qui s'étend sur 6 000 acres (24 km2) de fonds océaniques et de marées. Les quatre habitats distincts du parc (récif rocheux, lit de varech, bancs de sable et canyon sous-marin) en font une destination populaire pour les plongeurs en apnée et les plongeurs. Le parc a été créé par la ville de San Diego en 1970 et compte en fait deux autres parcs en son sein : la réserve écologique "regardez mais ne touchez pas" et le refuge de la vie marine.
103
Crique de La Jolla
La Jolla Cove Beach est située à l'extrémité nord-est du parc Ellen Browning Scripps. Cette plage historique est un endroit populaire depuis plus de 125 ans. Je vais vous montrer quelques photos de l'endroit exact où nous nous trouverons, montrant les collines au-dessus de la crique à la fin des années 1800. Vous ne verrez que les tout premiers cottages de plage présents sur les photos et verrez lesquels sont encore debout aujourd'hui !
104
Parc Ellen Browning Scripps
En marchant le long de la digue, Ellen Browning Scripps Park sera sur la gauche. Vous apprendrez comment les contributions d'Ellen ont aidé à mettre La Jolla et San Diego sur la carte. Mais l'attraction principale sera les lions de mer. Juin, juillet et août sont particulièrement bons pour visiter cette région car c'est la saison des mises bas. Vous pourrez voir des bébés lions de mer à une distance de sécurité pendant ces mois !
105
Piscines de marée de Shell Beach
Shell Beach La Jolla est populaire auprès des habitants et des touristes pour ses bassins de marée, sa petite plage de sable, ses coquillages et son terrain pittoresque. Nous pourrons avoir une vue magnifique depuis la digue au-dessus !
106
Parc du boulevard côtier
En approchant de la piscine pour enfants, nous pourrons voir Coast Boulevard Park au sud. Cette petite étendue d'herbe et de sable surplombant la mer est située entre Coast Boulevard et l'océan Pacifique. Il est connu sous le nom de "Wedding Bowl" en raison de sa popularité en tant que lieu de mariage en plein air. Le musée d'art contemporain de San Diego est juste en haut de la rue.
107
Musée d'art contemporain de San Diego
Fondé en 1941 sous le nom de The Art Center à La Jolla, le Musée d'art contemporain de San Diego (MCASD) est devenu une organisation de renommée nationale et internationale. Cet endroit était l'ancienne résidence d'Ellen Browning Scripps et est facilement identifiable par l'énorme groupe de bateaux sortant du toit ! Nous pourrons voir cet incroyable bâtiment depuis notre dernier arrêt à la piscine pour enfants.
108
Piscine pour enfants
Notre dernier arrêt sera à la célèbre piscine pour enfants, à l'origine une zone de San Diego désignée pour la baignade des enfants. En 1932, une digue a été construite pour protéger le rivage des vagues venant en sens inverse, ce qui en fait l'endroit idéal pour que les enfants puissent pagayer sans danger. Alors que la piscine pour enfants de La Jolla offre un lieu de baignade adapté aux enfants, les conditions s'avèrent également idylliques pour les phoques communs et les lions de mer. Seal Rock, qui est situé juste au nord de la plage, abrite des centaines de phoques, et sa proximité avec la piscine pour enfants La Jolla a accru l'intérêt des phoques pour la piscine. Les phoques sont depuis venus à la piscine pour enfants de La Jolla pour se baigner, se prélasser et même donner naissance à leurs bébés phoques. L'introduction de ces phoques dans la piscine pour enfants de La Jolla a récemment provoqué une controverse sur la question de savoir si la plage devait être préservée pour la vie marine ou pour les enfants. Nous pourrons marcher sur la digue tant que les conditions le permettront.

I've experienced many walking tours in the US and abroad. Kris' tour of the La Jolla Coast today was one of the best - if not the best! It is so easy to want to listen to what Kris has to say along the way as he knows the history and highlights and 'not so known' facts and he is engaging in sharing all of it. He let the group get comfortable with each other at the start of the tour and ensured we all knew where we were headed at the conclusion of the tour. If you do one tour in La Jolla, be sure it's Kris' tour!

I’m a La Jolla native but I did not tell Kris ;). I pride myself on knowing the area but he pointed out things I never knew about. Plus he’s got a fabulous disposition. Whether you’re a local or a tourist — you won’t be disappointed.
