Winter Time in SoCal part II: La Jolla





La Jolla, also known as the "Jewell of California" is a city located directly north of the San Diego neighborhood of Pacific Beach. It is famous for its great surf breaks (mostly reefs or rocky bottoms) and insanely expensive real estate (in fact, with an average house price of $1,800,000 it is the MOST expensive city in the US according to Bloomeberg).

Of course, I am a lot more interested in the beaches and the surf that I am in the multi-million dollars properties dotting its cliffs. The following photos are just a small sample of what La Jolla has to offer.



Winter time means no tourists... This guy gets to enjoy the entire beach by himself, south of Bird Rock




Meditation moment on the cliffs




South Windan'Sea/Big Rock




SoCal is not all palm trees and desert. Anything can grow here, like this huge pine tree




Windan'Sea, possibly the best wave in San Diego County (not really firing on this day though)





Strollin' through the neighborhood. Somewhere in La Jolla




Windan'Sea Beach




Groms are always tearing up Windan'




Even this little chipmonk came out of his burrow to enjoy the sun




Longboarding Big Rock! When it's on, this is one of the heaviest waves in SD county
