Marine Street Beach
La Jolla, CA
Marine Street Beach is a genuine residential-neighborhood beach, with Whispering Sands Beach's path between buildings and the Sea Lane Accessway both reaching the same general stretch of rocky-and-sandy shoreline. It's a quiet, low-key spot without the crowds of La Jolla Cove just up the coast.
A genuinely quiet residential beach, a low-key alternative to La Jolla's busier, more famous coves.
