La Jolla

La Jolla gives the impression that it is a separate incorporated city, even though it is part of the City of San Diego.  It’s well known for its high-end shopping and dining, with upscale boutiques, stores, and gourmet restaurants in downtown La Jolla.

The community's border starts at Pacific Beach to the south and extends along the Pacific Ocean shore north to include Torrey Pines State Reserve ending at Del Mar, California. Well-known areas include: Bird Rock, Windansea Beach, La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Farms, Torrey Pines, and Mount Soledad.
