One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! Just gorgeous. Don't miss this. We didn't rent a car and took a Lyft ride there. Parking isn't always easy and highly recommend this optionFull review by 846jonip

The beach is clean, spacious, and an ideal spot for families seeking a laid-back outing. There are picnic areas, well-maintained restrooms, and convenient parking, though it can fill up quickly duri…Full review by Esteban G
Yes, there are fire pits that you can use, first come first serve. Go to google maps on satellite view and you can figure out which one you’d like to use ahead of time.

No idea about the Cabanas. We never rented one of these features. However , I am pretty sure that reservations would recommended. Distance from La Jolla to Mission Beach is about 15 to 20 minutes pending traffic and the time you will need to find a parking spot.
We plan to attend Grunion Run this Friday June 9 at La Jolla Shores or the Scripps Pier. I know La Jolla Shores beach is really busy during the day. Where is a good place to park for the grunion Run and How early should we arrive to get a parking spot? Thanks.
A:
No need to arrive early. The grunion tend to run late. Enjoy a nice dinner and park in the parking lot at La Jolla Shores. It's a nice walk up the coast to the pier. Bring jackets, as it can …
No need to arrive early. The grunion tend to run late. Enjoy a nice dinner and park in the parking lot at La Jolla Shores. It's a nice walk up the coast to the pier. Bring jackets, as it can get windy and cool. Remember that if you disturb the first few grunion to hit the beach then the whole group will abandon the beach and look for a safer spot. Good luck!
Hi, we are going to be in San Diego from 7th April for about 9 days. My teenage daughter is hoping to do some sunbathing and swimming in the sea. What are the chances of that given average temperatures mid April? What's it there like now? Any swimmers in the sea???

Hi, sunbathing should be ok, the temperatures during the day are quite warm, even right now, provided there is no cloud cover or even fog. The water temperature of the Pacific Ocean …
Hi, sunbathing should be ok, the temperatures during the day are quite warm, even right now, provided there is no cloud cover or even fog. The water temperature of the Pacific Ocean is generally not very warm, especially not at the beginning of the year. Enjoy your stay and don't forget the sun screen.
