Boating in La Jolla

Ocean-related recreation and sports are major elements of the La Jolla life-style. Offshore waters provide exceptional fishing year-round, and the sheltering promontory of Alligator Head at the Cove permits small boat launching for anglers in quest of albacore, marlin or tuna.

Many La Jolla locals are ardent yachtsmen with great enthusiasm for sailing anything from skiffs to ocean racers, which has resulted in several excellent records in international events.

On most any weekend, the natural beauty of La Jolla's dramatic coast is enjoyed by pleasure boaters. There is no better spot for capturing La Jolla's magnificent twilight and sunset than from a floating craft on the seemingly infinite Pacific.
