"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.

If you’re visiting just for a run, there are paved jogging paths along the beach and just above the water."

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."

"Why go: It’s popular for bodysurfing and views from the walkway above and adjacent to La Jolla Cove. Boomer Beach is located just to the west of Ellen Browning Scripps Park and south of the Cove. It’s one of the smaller, lesser known beaches in La Jolla, and its exposure to stronger ocean waves and currents makes it less popular than neighboring Cove."
