What to expect

La Jolla Cove
Pass by

Welcome to beautiful, historic, and scenic La Jolla! Although technically part of San Diego, you'll soon find that this neighborhood has a character and history uniquely its own.

Note: The tour is over 3+ miles long, with more than 19 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.

New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
La Jolla Cove Bridge Club
Pass by

This is the La Jolla Cove Bridge Club, and it's a clue as to how La Jolla got to where it is today.
Ellen Browning Scripps Park
Pass by

We're walking through Ellen Browning Scripps Park, named for one of the most important figures behind La Jolla's rapid expansion.
10m

See the small, rocky island just off the coast? That's Seal Rock. Thousands of harbor seals and sea lions gather here every day to bask in the sun, rest after catching fish, and, if the season's right, squabble over mates.
10m

Coming up on your right is a famous, and curious, La Jolla spot: Children's Pool Beach. Pullover and pause in front.
The Wedding Bowl
Pass by

On your right is Cuvier Park, the most popular place in San Diego to tie the knot. In fact, it's such a beloved destination for soon-to-be-married couples that some call it The Wedding Bowl. Given its picturesque location by the water, I'm sure you can see why.
10m

Ahead, keep right and slow down as you drive. Of course, La Jolla's history didn't begin when humans arrived here. Life on the Pacific coast has been thriving for millions of years.
10m

In a few blocks, we're going to see a small building with a long history. It's the La Jolla Woman's Club, founded by - who else? - Ellen Scripps. When the club began in 1901, American women lacked any sort of equality, with no right to vote, and no right to custody of their children.
St. James by-The-Sea Episcopal Church
Pass by

Do you see a peach-colored belltower ahead? That's St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. It dates to 1908 and, like much of La Jolla, owes its existence to Ellen Scripps.
Athenaeum Music and Arts Library
Pass by

The white Spanish-revival building with terracotta shingles and arched windows is a must for lovers of the arts. It's the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.
Pass by

The white cross on that hill marks a solemn and at times controversial location: the Mt. Soledad National Veteran’s Memorial.
Windansea Beach
10m

Windansea is what’s known as a surf break. Rocky obstructions under the water here cause waves to break and also form those classic barrel-shaped curls that make for radical surfing.
