About La Jolla

La Jolla, California, is a seaside resort community of about 25,000 within the city of San Diego. Pronounced "la-HOY-ah" (which is based on "La Joya", Spanish for "The Jewel") it is often referred to as the "Jewel by the Sea". La Jolla borders Pacific Beach to the south and extends north to Torrey Pines State Reserve and Del Mar, California. Along the way it encompasses neighborhoods like Bird Rock, Windansea, The Village of La Jolla (including "downtown La Jolla"), La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Farms, Torrey Pines, Mount Soledad and La Jolla Village (including La Jolla Village Square). Interstate 5 forms La Jolla's man-made border to the east, with the minor exception of some University of California, San Diego and commercial property east of I-5 and north of La Jolla Village Drive also considered by some to be part of La Jolla. Alternatively, the name is thought by some to derive from an indigenous Native American word (either Diegueño or La Jollan culture) meaning "the cave", derived from the once extensive number of caves in the hills along the shoreline. With its palm-lined streets, large estate homes, and Mediterranean climate and atmosphere, La Jolla is reminiscent of a southern European village with touches of Beverly Hills along the upscale retail shops on Prospect Street. Much of La Jolla's natural charm stems from the presence of the ocean and Mount Soledad. Narrow curvy roads follow the contours of Soledad and hundreds of homes overlooking the ocean are nestled on the slopes. The sandy beaches, dotting the coastline extend from the south to the north, are Windansea Beach, La Jolla Cove, La Jolla Beach and Tennis property, La Jolla Shores, Scripps, and Black's Beach (leading up to Torrey Pines State Reserve). The University of California, San Diego (including the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the San Diego Supercomputer Center) is the center of higher education in La Jolla. National University is also headquartered in La Jolla. Among the several research institutes near UCSD and in the nearby Torrey Pines Science Park are The Scripps Research Institute, the Burnham Institute (formerly called the La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation) and the Salk Institute. The town's prep schools are La Jolla Country Day School, The Bishop's School, and The Preuss School UCSD. The public high school, La Jolla High School, is in the San Diego City Schools district. It is home to several famous alumni, including Gregory Peck and Raquel Welch. La Jolla is also the location of Torrey Pines Golf Course, made famous by the PGA TOUR Buick Invitational held there each February (in 2005, the competition was held in January). Down the steep cliffs from the Salk Institute and the Torrey Pines Golf Course is the famous de facto nude beach, Black's Beach.Walking along the beach at all times (but especially at sunset) is popular recreation. Those ambling along may be able to glimpse the "Green Flash." Downtown La Jolla is noted for its as jewelry stores, upmarket restaraunts and hotels. Prospect Street and Girard Avenue also have several famous boutiques. Notable for its architectural and historical presence is the La Valencia Hotel, which used to welcome movie stars on retreat from Hollywood during the silent film era. "La Jolla, perched as it is on a spectacular bluff, is one of those picture-perfect California resort cities. Its architecture is determinedly Cal-Mex, and its atmosphere is genteel rich." Since the 1880's, La Jolla has been a favorite vacation destination. Boasting southern California's most beautiful and majestic coastline and the finest weather in the world, La Jolla offers a varied selection of hotels, shopping, dining, events and attractions. This beautiful town makes a great place to live, play, and raise a family.
