Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at La Jolla Shores
This is the most popular beach in La Jolla. Sunners, surfers, picnickers, divers and dive classes use this area extensively during the weekends. The area is a fantastic underwater park, with fish hanging around for a handout. This can be an easy or a technically-advanced dive, depending upon your skill level.
11 miles North of San Diego, take the Ardath Road exit to the West. In 1.4 miles turn right on La Jolla Shores Drive. Turn left on Avenida De La Playa, and you'll find the park in 1/2 mile.

Loved this dive! In the sand there are tons of baby flounder. If you look hard enough you might see a pipefish. Me and my buddy saw 3. Down by the canyon we saw a lot- lobster, rockfish, an octopus, gobies, and more. However the best part of the dive was seeing an enormous halibut. It was about 4 feet long and probably weighed at least 50lbs! It was right on the edge of the canyon. Visibility was great! Around 20 feet or more. However. it is a long swim to get out to the canyon ( where all the life is. )
