Best Beach in Eucalyptus Hills

"Extremely popular with locals, though strangely not crazy crowded, Carlsbad State Beach gives beach goers free parking in several areas, easy access to the beach, clean restrooms and showers, and beautiful views from the cliffs. Nearly five miles long, the beach’s south end welcomes campers and is also a favorite with surfers. If you’re visiting just for a run, there are paved jogging paths along the beach and just above the water."

"There are only a handful of San Diego beaches that offer overnight camping and Carlsbad State Beach is one of the most beautiful. The campground is located on a large bluff, overlooking South Carlsbad State Beach. The sandy beach features beachcombing, swimming, boogie boarding, surfing, picnicking, sunbathing, fishing, skin diving and endless views of the Pacific Ocean."

"This is actually two separate beaches: Carlsbad State Beach and South Carlsbad State Beach. Situated at the foot of the bluffs, access in spots is a tad inconvenient, which makes them a bit less crowded. Surfing, swimming, boogie boarding and beachcombing are all popular."

"Wipeout Beach is located on the 700 block of Coast Blvd., and is a sandy stretch of beach just south of South Casa Beach and the Children’s Pool. It’s a great spot for sunbathing, but again isn’t recommended for inexperienced swimmers because of the rip current. Low tide is probably the best time to visit this spot, as there’s more sand to walk along and you’ll be able to see a few shallower exposed tide pools."

"Swimming:Yes, but the Current Can Be Rough Surfing: NoBoogie Boarding: Not the Best SpotBest For: Walking the Beach At Low Tide. This is the largest beach in downtown La Jolla. Stairs lead from the walkway down to the top of a set of rocks, and from there you hop right down to the sand."

"Wipeout Beach can be found just south of Children’s Pool Beach. It also runs along Coast Boulevard. It’s definitely among the best beach spots in La Jolla, just for its views alone."

"For ridiculously tall sea cliffs, head to Torrey Pines City Beach at La Jolla’s northern point. And then, of course, there are the sea lions and seals, which bask themselves close to downtown La Jolla. Add ice cream, a stroll along the boardwalk and dinner at night and you’ve just had the perfect ending to 3 days in San Diego itinerary."

"Torrey Pines is bordered by huge, magnificent cliffs that stretch as high as 100 yards. Popular for nature walks. Bring good walking shoes; Black’s Beach is not easy to get to."

"Swimming:YesSurfing: NoBoogie Boarding: NoBest For: Sunbathing and Swimming. Just past the sea lion’s you’ll find a small slice of sand called Shell Beach. Located right in the heart of La Jolla Village, this is an awesome place to spend some time in after watching the sea lions."

"Shell Beach is a small beach in the La Jolla community of San Diego. The beach is accessed via a flight of concrete steps that start at the south end of Ellen Browning Scripps Park. Address:Coast Blvd, San Diego, CA 92037"

"Shell Beach in La Jolla is located at the south end of Ellen Browning Scripps Park. At this spot there is long set of stairs that takes you from the […]"

"You’ll find South Mission Beach at the extreme south end of the Mission Beach Peninsula. It’s one of the widest beaches in the city, so it’s a great place to play a game of beach volleyball or basketball. This beach is slightly more subdued than some of the others in the area, but it still gets crowded, so join the party as early as possible."

"You can always find beautiful photos to share from the beaches of San Diego. The photo below is actually a rare occurrence in Coronado where you can see a sunken ship at low tide. More: Where to Find the Sunken Ship in San Diego"

"The New Children's Museum in San Diego is a great museum for families with children to visit. The museum's state of the art center is focused on creating a space where children can think, play and create through hands-on exhibitions, art creation, and educational opportunities. It has something for children of every age and parents will enjoy the learning nature of it as well."

"Originally in La Jolla, the New Children’s Museum opened in its current light-filled downtown space in 2008. Entering the multi-story, 50,000-square-foot space, it’s immediately evident that a lot of thought and imagination has gone into the museum’s design. Off the bat, a room lined entirely with mattresses invites kids to literally jump on the bed."

"Located near La Jolla Cove, guests in this restaurant are always pleased to find picturesque views while indulging, and some fine dishes. For starters, they have a crab and corn chowder, Maine lobster bisque, and a chilled Gulf shrimp cocktail style of soup. In addition, there are three variants of sandwiches and various authentic local entrees."
