This is one of our favorite short walks in La Jolla! Coast Walk is a small but exceptionally beautiful scenic walk. It's 0.6 mile trail along the bluffs of La Jolla coastline. Originally intended to be used as a road in the 1920s, Coast Walk Trail is deemed a “paper” street. Designated as a historic asset in 1990, Coast Walk Trail is believed to have been used for over 9,000 years.
