La Jolla Beach
The La Jolla (Jewelry in Spanish) area is located in the north of downtown San Diego. It is a famous natural ecological reserve in Southern California, the main residential area for the rich in San Diego, and a famous tourist area.
It is close to the Pacific Ocean, with both excellent beaches and cliffs and reefs. The blue and transparent sea water is sometimes calm and sometimes rough.
The beach here is particularly soft and fine, suitable for various beach sports. There are toilets and showers on the beach. There are many surfing spots when the tide rises and falls. The sea surface is relatively calm between the tides, so La Jolla has become a resort for surfers, swimmers and sunbathers.

San Diego is one of the border cities on the U.S. coastline. It is very close to Mexico and has many port resources. This cliff park is a very steep place where you can enjoy the sunset show in the evening.
Here you can watch the sunset, the water connecting the sky and the water, the sun bathing in the water, the blue sky, the clear water, the red sun, the pink clouds, and the seabirds flying around. For more than an hour, you can immerse yourself in the unparalleled visual feast.
