SEA LODGE ON LA JOLLA SHORES BEACH

Sea Lodge La Jolla Shores
Sea Lodge at La Jolla Shores is next to the town’s best swimming beach. This 128-room lodge offers a secluded courtyard and swimming pool.

This three-story 1960s La Jolla Shores hotel in a mostly suburban enclave is under the same management as the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club next door. It has the same on-the-sand setting, less the country club ambience – there are no mutual privileges. About half the rooms have some view of the ocean; the rest look out on the pool or the tiled courtyard. With token, outmoded furniture, the rooms are pretty basic, priced by view and size.

La Jolla, California
La Jolla, California is a seaside resort community of 24,440 within the city of San Diego. The community has quite a few groups, which work to unite the voice of La Jolla, including the non-profit La Jolla Town Council Organization, which represents the interests of the businesses that belong to the council. La Jolla is evocative of a southern European village with its palm-tree lined streets, big estate homes, and Mediterranean climate and mood, with touches of Beverly Hills along the upscale retail shops on Prospect Street.

This beachside resort town is still full of beauty, tranquility and surprise. Set beside a magnificent bay and the point that shelters it, La Jolla is 11 miles north of downtown San Diego. Strolling along the neighborhood’s shoreline parks and beaches has been La Jolla’s most popular activity since the early 1900s.

One of the spots to try out is La Jolla Cove near downtown La Jolla. This is one of the more popular dive spots in the San Diego area, and for good reason. It is also a good place to snorkel since many garibaldi and kelp bass find homes among the swirling mass of kelp. In the cracks between the rocky areas hide several lobsters, abalones and fish.

La Jolla deserves its glamorous reputation with its mountainous, meandering roads lined with seaside mansion, but the longtime home of the late Dr. Seuss has its laid back side as well. La Jolla Shores, a pleasant district across the water from city center, is home to a number of family-friendly hotels, blocks of surf shops and cafes, and a beautiful beach shared by local families, surfers and researchers from the adjacent Scripps Institute of Technology.

La Jollans have a propensity to “wax rhapsodic” about their beautiful surroundings. To those familiar with the stylish appeal of today’s streets, it is hard to imagine its early collection of little cottages on the dusty chaparral, but civic pride is readily apparent, even in the newspaper articles of one hundred odd years ago.



The first to buy land in La Jolla with the intention of settling there were Samuel and Daniel Sizer. Clearly a lot has changed since the turn of the twentieth century. Nowadays, a 92037 zip code is one of the most sought after in the US. Comparatively low unemployment together with traditionally low interest rates – two of the features driving real estate surges across the country – only partly explain the latest surges in property values.
