Thursday and we are off the short 1.5 hour ride north to Huntington Beach
(also known as Surf
City
Only 10 minutes north of San Diego
is La Jolla (la Hoya). This suburb area of San Diego
Our interest in La Jolla is in the beautiful beaches (and
free parking!) where you walk along the cliffs above and listen to the surf and
sometimes watch the surfers—and countless numbers of seals. Our favourite spot
is where you walk down the cliff stairway to a sandy beach that has several
caves located in the rocky cliffs. I
climbed into these caves and took some great pictures as you come out the other
end of the cave to a beach with pounding surf, and seals working hard to remain
lying on rocks as the surf cascades over them.
Another amazing site is to see all the swimmers who come to
this beach and simply start swimming.
They go for incredible distances to the point that you can no longer see
some of them, as they are well over a mile out.
I felt very humble to see many of these swimmers were men and women well
into the seventies!!
It is easy to get captured by the trance of La Jolla . We
decided to head a tad farther north to La Jolla’s main surf beach where there
was parking for many hundreds of cars (free again!). The afternoon was spent just laying back on
the sand and enjoying the ocean waves and surfers.
However the late afternoon came calling and it was north to Huntington
