Description

If you can navigate through the many tourists, you'll enjoy a beautiful ramble with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean! Some sections of the hike follow elevated boardwalks, including some staircases, while others follow dirt paths along the coast.

The route shown here incorporates the La Jolla Coast Walk Trail as a part of the overall route, but it extends farther than just the basic coast walk.
