Sinking one's feet into the downy, almost spongy sand and gazing across the ambiguous ocean of La Jolla Beach with its constant milky waves rushing to the shore is in itself a curative experience. Lying along the Pacific Ocean, and famous for its serrated cliffs and for its finest weather in the world, La Jolla is an ideal destination both for visiting and for settling down.

The Name La Jolla and Short History

Although the true meaning or origin of the name La Jolla has not been established, the word La Jolla spelled in Spanish (La Hoya) means “The Jewel” which justifies the amazing sea side cliffs and the La Jolla Cove. Some historians argue that the name refers to an Indian term ‘Woholle’ or ‘hole in the mountains’ – referring to the sea caves.

Early settlers of La Jolla are believed to have been Native Americans based on Archaeologists’ discoveries of stone utensils and Indian mutates along the shores of La Jolla.
