Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at The Cave
This dive was recommended by a certified Gorilla. We've only included The Cave to show how difficult it can be to access. If you aren't comfortable climbing on sandy rocks, try a kayak dive instead! Located in the heart of La Jolla, this entry accesses some very nice coastline.
11 miles North of San Diego, take the Ardath Road exit to the West. In 1.4 miles bear left on Torrey Pines Road. In 0.85 mile, turn right on Prospect Place. In 0.2 miles, bear right down Coast Blvd, and turn right into the parking.

I love this spot as the shore entry is very easy. The cliff is easy to go down -- find a diagonal route down. If you are on the cliff go north to the edge, step down a level and you can walk around towards the caves. instead of swimming from the cove, go to the shell shop. To the left of the shell shop is a wood railing. Follow it till you see the walkway to the cliff. I have seen guitarfish, moray eels, giant sea snails, leopard sharks, and octopus in the caves and hundreds of sea anemones in the caves, too. Watch out for kayak tours, inexperienced kayakers in caves are dangerous. The nice thing about this spot is that there are no recreational swimmers because of the long swim from the cove and the cliff access only.
