La Jolla is a community within the city of San Diego, and some think it the most desirable place to dwell and visit. La Jolla is just north of San Diego's beaches Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach, yet it sometimes feels worlds away.

La Jolla's Torrey Pines State Beach, Golf Course, and hotels next to the beach all provide great vacations for those seeking a slower pace north of San Diego. Del Mar with the San Diego County Fair and Racetrack is close by so you can stay in La Jolla and access the fairgrounds for these events or hundreds of other happenings throughout the year.

An Aquarium is one of the highlights for parents with children, but the beaches are the biggest draw.

Other things to do and see include Gliderport for launch of hang-gliding rides, and the University of California, San Diego. Surfing, swimming, jogging, sunbathing, golfing, bicycling, and many outdoor activities are available to tourists during their beach vacations.
