From the moment the railroad reached La Jolla in 1890 and the first settlers declared it “magnificent,” the Village has been a popular destination. Resort developers and artists arrived for La Jolla’s natural appeal; travelers soon followed to enjoy the beaches, swimming and surfing; Charles Lindbergh flew in and off of the area’s breathtaking hills and cliffs; and both residents and visitors journeyed into town for Southern California’s best shopping and dining.
While La Jolla proper is renowned for its visitor-oriented upscale shops, galleries and restaurants, La Jolla Shores, just to the north, is a quaint beach community that offers the laid-back, cool ambience that locals love, and you will too.
