Its a very clean and beautiful area to walk around. I noticed that by 6-7pm a handful of the stores in the shopping center were closed the majority were restaurants and food spots that were open. Not a party town. Relaxed and enjoyable

Lovely setting and pretty laid back for a tourist town. Very walkable with some good food choices. Be aware the walk along the beach really reeks with bird guano and seal, and sea lion scat.

Restaurants and drink prices are outrageous! Jose's, The Spot, and The Cove House are the most reasonable. But its all good! Love George's. La Valencia restaurant is NOT worth the extremely high prices for dinner. Great place to have a cocktail.

La Jolla is a quiet village type neighborhood in San Diego. Not really close to any of the tourist areas but very popular with locals and other San Diegans who flood the streets on the weekends.
"We had a really great stay at the Inn at the sea in La Jolla. The location was amazing and we could walk to the beach, the children’s pool, shops, restaurants, even a grocery store. Nearby there was a beautiful coastal hiking trail, and it was an easy drive to San Diego for other adventures. The hotel was very close to the museum of contemporary art."
"Every staff member encountered was warm, welcoming and accommodating. Room had a spacious balcony with table with ocean view overlooking Girard & prospect street. Super conveniently located to dining options and beach is literally across the street. Nothing but great things to say about this property. Will definitely repeat a stay!"
