How to read this map
The pins are the 18 places this site tracks around La Jolla Cove — beaches, the seven sea caves’ cliff, parks, viewpoints and the reserve itself. Click a pin for its facts; places with a full written guide link to it, and the rest carry their fact record in the popup. The filters are rules against the data, not tags: “Lifeguard” means a staffed station is recorded, “Closed or restricted” means a legal closure applies right now or seasonally.
Two viewing notes. Point La Jolla and Boomer Beach appear as one pin because the City regulates them as one closed area — the pin marks the haul-out you view from the Scripps Park walkway. And the Seven Sea Caves pin sits at Goldfish Point, the cliff the caves are cut into; only Sunny Jim’s Cave has its own pin, because it is the only cave with land access.
What is deliberately not on it
Individual water-only caves (White Lady, Little Sister, Shopping Cart, Sea Surprize, Arch, Clam) have no reliable public coordinates, so they are described on the sea caves page rather than pinned imprecisely. Mount Soledad, Torrey Pines and the wider San Diego coast are outside this site’s scope on purpose — this is a La Jolla Cove site, not a San Diego site.
Getting on the water
Kayak, snorkel and paddle from La Jolla Shores
Six of the seven sea caves have no land entrance, and no tour launches from the Cove itself — everything on the water leaves from La Jolla Shores, a mile north.
