Photographer's Note

La Jolla Cove or Pacific Cove is a cove and a beach in La Jolla, San Diego, California. It is a very small beach very popular for swimming, scuba diving and snorkeling. However, since La Jolla Cove is within the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park (a marine refuge area), swimming devices such as surfboards, boogie boards, and even inflatable mattresses are not permitted, and this rule is carefully enforced by the lifeguards, specifically in the part of the area defined as the Ecological Reserve.
The La Jolla Cove is home to the annual La Jolla Cove Rough Water swim. This is one of the oldest ocean swims in the world.
No fishing or collecting of marine invertebrates, (even taking dead specimens or seashells) is allowed. All sea animals in this area are protected by law, including the orange Garibaldi fish, which are unusually common in the Cove.
Every weekend but also every afternoon the locals as well as the tourists like to spend time at the Cove, strolling by the ocean and enjoying the natural sea views and surroundings. The best attraction is to watch the seals sunbathing on the rocks.
