Upscale seafood restaurant with stellar ocean views. Top floor is more casual with open bar seating and live music. This is my top pick if you want an upscale seafood place. ( The shrimp cocktail is to die for!)

My favorite! Everything is handmade and fresh! I always get the grilled fish tacos which are fresh, local catch. The churros are the best you'll have. There is always a huge line but if you go before 11 it's not bad.

Sightseeing
La Jolla Cove
1100 Coast BlvdCheck out the children's pool... there are tons of seals.
Beautiful! Reminds me of the cave in Goonies when they find the treasure! Warning if you get claustrophobic... the steps going down are steep and narrow, with wet cave walls. Do not attempt if you think there is a risk of falling or becoming panicked. The stairs lead to a small platform inside the cove from which you can see the ocean outside the cave entrance. Entry is $5 per adult.
