![La Jolla’s Hidden Gems: the 10 Best Things to Do [4k]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fWDHUwoqDGE/mqdefault.jpg)
One of my earlier memories as a kid in the 60s living in the Shores was being awakened in the middle of the night one time and being told a tidal wave was coming and we needed to evacuate immediately. We piled in the station wagon and drove up the hill to where more of the UCSD campus would eventually be built. Used to love heading to Kellogg Park every day after school too. La Jolla will always be a special place.
Both sets of great grandparents on my mom's side vacationed there in the early 19 teens. My grandparents met there and vacationed with their children every summer. Parents honeymooned there and brought my sister and me every summer from Colorado. Now I'm in my 60s and still go every year for a family reunion dinner on the beach of the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club.
Went here yesterday after hiking at Torrey pines. Didn’t have time for kayaking but it was such a nice place to visit
As a Brit who loves Cali I need to make time to visit La Jolla & San Diego next time I'm in the golden state 🇬🇧
You'll it David
LaJolla is where I took scuba lessons both times , once when I was 21 back in 1978 (NAUI) and again in 2002 with my kids (PADI) . There is a place that even a lot of locals don't know about for tidepools and that's in Point Loma below the cliffs (there is a trail) at Cabrillo National Monument , the trail down is on the right as you approach the memorial . From the top of the hill you can watch the submarines come into the submarine base below you on the left which is always an event with people lined up along the fence to watch .
Was there in June. What a beautiful place. If you live there you are very lucky. It was just beautiful.
The most expensive place in Southern California, thanks to the colleges and hospitals
My home , love it 🙌
If you are tired of hectic city life, LJ is good for you. It makes me feel relaxed.
This is paradise , it has to be. Thank you ! 😍❤️
Beautiful, thank friends.
Congratulations! You guys make a great couple.Thank you for sharing such awesome videos with us.They make us want to dump everything and go....
I love swimming with the seals in La Jolla. I’ve snorkeled at the entrances of the cave with some seals this past July and it was awesome!
Another great video and some great ideas for visiting the area! Thanks guys.
Enjoying all your videos released this week. Awesome work. Thanks.
Thanks for watching them, appreciate it!
Shhhh! Don't tell them about The Taco Stand. :) Another great taco place is Las Olas, just up the road in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Stellar blog. Kudos.
I've been to San Diego and La Jolla beach in October 2020. It was amazing. Wonderful city!! Best wishes from Recife - Brazil
Almost every time I watch one of your videos, I am sitting in my hometown's In n Out Burger parking lot. The sun is out as always, and it's nice and warm. Living in Southern California rules! You guys rule! Have a great day everyone!
That is a good spot to be at, hard to beat Southern California and In n Out!
Love this video - this is a place I've always wanted to visit. Thanks guys! :)
I always love your videos.............and totally going to those key points
in La Jolla. Thank you.
You’re in my city! If you had just walked down those stairs from where you had coffee-you could’ve walked into another cove. Idk how to explain it direction-wise but it’s a free cove that everyone walks into and usually their shoes get a little wet. Also in La Jolla-you could’ve driven to the top of Mt. Soledad for a nice view of the ocean/La Jolla also. There’s another good gelato shop above the cove called Gelateria Frizzante. You could’ve gone to the UCSD campus and checked out the interesting-shaped library building called Geisel Library. You could’ve seen another interesting architectural building called the Salk Institute-reminds me of Inception. You could’ve gone to Birch Aquarium. Anyway, you went to some good places-eggs Benedict is definitely the thing to order at The Cottage. Better Buzz is actually a chain coffee restaurant and their acai bowls are excellent.
Good video. I live in Baja La Jolla and there are many hikes we do every year, Mt. Soledad from the village, Scripps Meander, several in Torrey Pines. Another day in Paradise.
Im from SD and I grew up in La Jolla. I called every spot you went to before you said it haha. That brunch spot has been popular for so long! Love your videos!
do u know of the trail that is right beside the razor house in la jolla that people hike and also para glide too or from , thanks
@@briansimpkins985 i dont know what its called but my friend was just talking about that trail ill see if i can find out!
@@briansimpkins985 i think it might literally be called the razor point trail
Awesome video! Just in time as I plan to visit in April. Want to go see the Marine Room.
8:13 Comiendose un taco con todo y papel. Clasico.
Great vid! Glad I found your channel.
Thanks for finding it and for commenting!
All over La Jolla
At Waimia Bay
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A
I love your guys channel! You guys showcase the truly best, and hidden aspects of California. I'll be planning a trip to La Jolla sometime next year*
This also has me feeling a tad homesick...
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!🙏
My favorite place in San Diego. Used too live right across from cove in one of the old houses. One is covered with a stripe cover and one caught fire. This was in 50s. Love it
This video brought back some great memories of my Navy days at NAS Miramar. Yup it was NAS Miramar prior to 1997 before the BRAC changed all that. La Jolla Cove is close by the base and a great place to take your date for some fine dining and walks on the beach.
We live in Phoenix and drive to SD and La Jolla whenever possible. So close to Coronado, Mission Bay, and yes...the Taco Stand! Our absolute favorite! Great video!👍
As a California fanatic living in Texas, I enjoy your videos very much.👍
i chose to do a presentation about la jolla for school, and this video helped me a ton!! thanks so much, this is amazing!
Your video looks cool. Thank you for sharing.
That Clip you showed kayaking in the cave make me wanna go back to La Jolla !! Cool Vid Josh !
Looking from technical point of view, its a great video. Short, informative video/pics, sharp & quality, I love it. Will recommend to watch by all my friends.
Thanks again.
Hey, Amy and Josh, haven't seen you guys in a while. Good to see you again!
Just bumped into your channel 😀, I'm glad I did. Well done video
Its beautiful there bro!!
Love your videos! I want to visit California
Well Josh and Amy that was another great video I’m going to have to give you guys a shout out towards the summer and ask you where are some good places to go down in San Diego
Amy that Mahi Eggs Benedict looked amazing.If you ever come down to The Florida Keys check out Lazy Days in Islamoradama and don't forget to stop at Robbies to feed the Tarpon.
Islamorada
Can you do a video in Idyllwild CA? I love your videos.
We’ll done, TY!!!
Ayyy I love the cottage, their French toast is the best!!!
I went jetskiing in San Diego this June and afterwards we went to La Jolla and it was really amazing seeing the seals
When I lived in La Jolla, in the '70s, the Cove was a sheltered place where young families could spend the day with little kids, in the gentle surf. It was delightful, almost like the shallow end of the baby pool only salt water. Now it is overtaken by noisey, ugly, smelly, fat, pooping...did I say ugly....shark bate. Yuk.
Mmm let’s talk about those hand made tortilla tacos by the beach!! Yum! Only in beautiful California!!!
I love La Jolla ;) it's one of the best beach view places that I've been to :)
Despite of HavingTHE MOST CORRUPT OF THE POLITICIANS HERE IN CA- WE BEAT THEM ALL BY HAVING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL- FUN - wholesome- endless possibilities STATE!!!! When I go to the East Coast, I always realize how blessed we are here!!!!!!!😇💓💓💞🍥
good job
thanks for uploading this!! my birthplace :) i see it wasn't sunny but it's still a beautiful place to be in :D
I like how you focus on the positives of this state. People who don’t live here only hear the negatives and so they have a negative view of this state. I live by the Monterey bay, and there is no state with more variety then California. Btw, I also love your tips and things to do.
As a Canadian, the only state I would ever move to is California. Love the sunny state!
Yor area is GREAT Monterey/Carmel/Point Lobos FANTASTIC!!!
I love California
Very nice spot near San Diego.
Thanks for the memories! One of the great good fortunes of my life was to live in La Jolla in 1958-60 when a middle class kid could afford it. Seals were relatively rare back then but great fun to snorkel with.
Torrey Pines and the golf course, Glider Point...
My favorite place in whole world.
I love La Jolla I was born there, and it’s just beautiful, but if you want a good breakfast bagel go to bruger’s or busy bee. Busy bee is near bird rock and I’m pretty sure brugers is in PB (edit: pro tip, the seals smell *HORRIBLE*
The original Cottage Restaurant was in Laguna beach.
I saw my best sunset in La Jolla!
Nice!! Where did you get that Crater Lake shirt??
I like your video! I pass La Joya but I never stop 🛑 there. I was thinking everything there was r/t Chopra Center. ( Spanish is my mother language, sorry for my writing) Thxs for open my mind and my eyes.
Josh, did Amy tell you about the dripping eggs on the burger, you biting into the paper on your taco or was she having a good laugh? 😂
Bellicimo
When I was last in La Jolla 20+ years ago there were no Sea Lions on the rocks in Children's Pool area or anywhere obvious. They came during one of our many El Ninos and stayed to frustrate the morning swimming club. ( the swimming club found a workaround)
The sea lions were actually there at least 25 years ago. There used to be a 50' cliff called the "Clam" that people would jump off of and surface to the sea lions swimming around them. I used to jump the cliff regularly while growing up there, while in high school.( back in the early to mid 90s) The cliff however has eroded in the ocean since then
La Jolla is a beautiful, affluent coastal city, BUT it’s to crowded/congested (especially on weekends) for my taste.
I miss the Ocean 🌊
How was traffic near the beach area?
What camera do you use for video ?
Love the videos, but you know we know you eat paper on that last bite of the taco, lol
Awesome video 👍🏼👏🏼
I have a total random question... is there a good, and not too expensive, camera that you recommend?
Thanks for the comment. What is the price range and what are you looking to do with it (photography, video, etc)?
California Through My Lens I say, no more than $1500. I think mostly photography. I’ll be a Christmas present.
i would like to hike the hill right beside that mansion that was on million dollar listing LA beside the razor house thats in la jolla
8:14 taco paper couldn't have tasted as good as you made it out to be!
😂😂😂
This is like my childhood in speed dial
It is a common misconception that La Jolla is "north of San Diego." It is surely north of downtown San Diego, and north of Loma Portal, and Ocean Beach, and Mission Beach, and Pacific Beach. La Jolla IS San Diego. It was annexed in something like 1905, 1910, or something like that (quick Wiki lookup would have details, but that's not the point). A rather amusing point is the attitude of some folks with regard to the "prestige" of being in La Jolla or University City (also San Diego). If you travel down La Jolla Village Drive between I-5 and I-805, which hotels get to use a La Jolla address versus a San Diego (University City) address? It's just by zip code. The prestige is the same on one side of the street or the other.
Just 24 hours, I spent 10 months at UCSD Mores Cancer in La Jolla..Fun Times.
Thanks for the comment, I hope you are doing better now.
@@californiathroughmylens Yes, thank you.
Where did California get its name?
As a La Jolla native, I really appreciate you visiting and sharing my home! I would like to say, however, that The Cottage is not at all the best brunch and it very touristy. If your good with that, cool, but you can also check out La Valencia, Sugar, and Scribe, and Parakeet Cafe (not rlly brunch but it slides). These options may be a little more expensive but you're in La Jolla so expect that!
La Jolla is a mini paradise.....10,000 seals can't be wrong
Matrix Anomaly at 2:28 Floating bird
He dude, if you gonna chill in my smoking spots, we gotta blow one to the wind boi !
I can tell by the blissful look on your face that you californian guys smoke weed already in the morning😂 Cool video , keep up the good work, cheers mate!

I hope that at least I put a smile on your face with my naughty comment....love you guys,,,you both make a cute couple.Come on man....
♦️♦️♦️Curious, what states were you 2 born in?
Great tour! We fell in LOVE with la jolla in September! I learned about it by reading about Betty Broderick who shot her husband and his new wife in la Jolla after a very bitter divorce. Thinking about writing to Betty in prison to thank her for leading us to la Jolla!
LaJolla IS a sea side community WITHIN the City of San Diego.
Wait. No donut 🍩 recommendation?
Who's Amy?
All I have to say i I used to cruise around la jolla but I got deported to tj and my life is over
Josh when are you going to propose????!! Amy has been by your side for long...come on man....
haha, thanks for the comment! We are actually married, we have been for 9 years. I agree Amie is awesome :)
The Cottage is overrated you should have gone to Sugar and Scribe so much better
please take this video down. thank you
LA JOLLA IS WRONG WRITTEN, THE CORRECT FORM WRITTEN IS LA JOYA.
where there are seal, there are things that eat seals
