La Jolla Sea Caves
Sea caves, sea lions & a turquoise cove
Seven sandstone sea caves carved into the cliffs of La Jolla, best explored by kayak or snorkel through some of California’s clearest water — with sea lions, leopard sharks, and a protected cove ecosystem. One cave is reachable by a tunnel of 145 steps.
