It's a relatively short trip that could be done in a day. I've been thinking of going between Los Angeles and La Jolla for a Saturday. Has anyone spent the day there? Anyone interested in trying it?
Surfed off Sunset Cliffs in the dead of winter once. Damn it was cold. The Scripps Institute Aquarium is pretty cool.
Given that it is some 6 - 7000 miles away, its not something that can be accomplished in a day or even two.
I once lived in La Jolla, it is a nice place. Some very wealthy people there, and on the heights above the cliffs are a number of famous institutes like Salk's. There is a famous nude beach there, Black's Beach. Locals will point out the way... I liked watching the hang gliders launch from above and glide around. Lots of fun! Say hi to the seals Sorry I am too far away to join you for the day, but have fun! The train from LA to SD stops near La Jolla I think... not sure. It's a bit of a drive otherwise
Pacific Surfliner Train | Amtrak ... There is limited train service, but when I am in a city that has things that are spread out, I generally like to have my own car available to get me where I want to go.
Mother and stepfather owned a Restaurant-bar in La Jolla back in the 50s--60s--El Sombrero. Nice town,decent beaches.
