You need to keep in mind that this beach may not be an ideal place for families because there are no public restrooms or picnic areas and the rough surf
conditions aren't well suited for families with children. If you have children, you may want to find another beach such as La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Cove or Children’s Pool.
In the past the rough waves at this beach have been known to seriously injure body boarders and swimmers. You should always remember to respect both the water and the waves here especially if you aren't that experienced in the water. So, always be aware of your surroundings when entering the water and carefully monitor the wave activity.
The lifeguards are stationed on the beach During the summer months and on peak weekends during the fall and spring. Park on the street at La Jolla Marine Street Beach because there are no designated public parking lots here. Try to get here early because it can be very challenging to find a parking space, especially on the weekends and during summer months.
