Kayak to La Jolla Sea Caves

La Jolla Kayaking to La Jolla Caves San Diego

All of the La Jolla Sea Caves are visible from the water. You must be with an approved La Jolla Kayaking tour group to enter the caves. Tours leave from La Jolla Shores beach. Depending on the tide and weather conditions, the tour groups usually enter The Clam's Cave, the largest cave on the western end, and sometimes Arch cave. The other caves are visible from the ocean, but are usually too dangerous to enter.

View La Jolla Caves
from La Jolla Coast Blvd.

La Jolla Sea Caves San Diego CA

You can easily view The Clam's Cave from Coast Blvd. and the historic Coast Walk Trail. If you walk out the edge of the cliff, you can see the other caves as shown in the photo above. While the view is lovely, the smell is not so lovely on the cliffs, as the birds leave their mess there. It is better to keep your distance or enjoy the view from a kayaking tour.
