Just a short drive beyond, world-class attractions like the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld guarantee unforgettable vacation memories.

Black’s Beach (1 Mile)

Within walking distance of our La Jolla hotel, Black’s Beach is one of Southern California’s more secluded sections of shoreline and is not accessible by car. Though renowned as San Diego’s only clothing-optional beach, the true allure of Black’s Beach lies in its fast, powerful waves that attract the region’s best surfers.

La Jolla Shores (2.5 Miles)

A mile-long beach featuring white sand, scenic views, and gentle waves great for casual surfing or kayaking. Snorkelers are likely to see stingrays, schools of bright orange fish, and the occasional small and harmless leopard shark. Beyond the sand, La Jolla Shores is family-friendly with a beach playground for kids and a grassy lawn area for picnicking.

La Jolla Cove (4.7 Miles)

This ecologically-protected area provides a natural elevated walkway for visitors to stroll above the ocean and groups of frolicking sea lions. It’s a wonderful spot to relax, unwind from the day, and take in the panoramic sunset.

Torrey Pines Gliderport (0.6 Miles)

Witness paragliders run off the edge of lofty oceanside bluffs, only to soar even higher on the sea breezes. Thrillseekers can even take to the air themselves on an instructional tandem flight.

Torrey Pines State Reserve (2 Miles)

Accented by striking red cliffs and rare pine trees, this oceanfront state park is truly one of the most beautiful locations in all of San Diego, and is beloved by visitors and locals alike. Grab lunch to go from Blend and spend the day hiking one of the many preserved trails that lead to ocean vistas or down to the sand.

Torrey Pines Golf Course (2 Miles)

Famous for being the site of the 2008 PGA U.S. Open and hosting the tournament again in 2021, Torrey Pines is arguably San Diego’s top course. Located atop seaside cliffs, golfers enjoy incredible Pacific Ocean views as they maneuver the two pristine courses.
