Points North



La Jolla coastline

Just north of SD lie the beaches and cliffs of Point Loma, La Jolla, Torrey Pines and other communities.  We visited these areas many times to hike along the cliffs, beaches, tidal pools and parks.

Surfing Paddle Boarders also, Nancy & I have taken to this sport but only in the protected bays

Constant barking and shoving matches, here's where sheer bulk pays off.  You'd need a  bull dozer to shove some of the big guys off 


Little guy has to find a rock of his own to avoid being shoved off


Pelicans and Cormorants commandeer nearby rocks, stinking them up to high-heaven to the dismay of the upscale sea view restauranteurs nearby

Torrey Pines offers stunning cliffside hikes and surf-side strolls 


We made it back to the truck just in time to beat this short-lived storm
