The kids will sleep soundly after a fun day out at Scripps Beach. Hunt for shiny seashore treasures, stick a toe in the water or kick a ball around!

This stretch of coastline is on the to-do lists of many travelers to La Jolla. But Scripps Beach isn't the only drawcard here. La Jolla Cove, University of California, San Diego, and Mission Bay are some other worthwhile sights close by.
