Morning
Begin by looking out the front door of the landmark Hotel La Valencia (see La Valencia). Turn left onto Prospect Street and walk past restaurants and art galleries. Before you reach Coast Boulevard, a stairway to the left leads to the Sunny Jim Cave. Steps lead through a tunnel into a fascinating, ocean-carved cave, named by L. Frank Baum (see L. Frank Baum (1856–1919)). To the left of the entrance a platform overlooks the caves. Continue along Coast Boulevard, admiring views of Torrey Pines and Scripps Pier. Pass through Ellen Browning Scripps Park (see Ellen Browning Scripps Park). Beyond the end of the park is Children’s Pool (see Sea Lion-Watching at Children’s Pool). Check out the seals and sea lions. Turn left on Cuvier Street and left onto Prospect Street. You’ll now be at the Museum of Contemporary Art (see Museum of Contemporary Art). Check out the latest exhibit or have a snack in the café. Louis Gill designed the museum and the older architecture in this area. Walk back toward the village and peek inside John Cole’s Books; the cottage dates back to 1904. Cross Prospect at Fay but keep on Prospect. Pass through the Arcade Building to Girard Avenue. Turn right and window-shop along La Jolla’s main street. Of note is Warwick’s at 7812, a stationer and bookstore, and La Jolla Fiber Arts (see La Jolla Fiber Arts). Cross the street at Torrey Pines Road and double back on Girard. Time to enjoy delicious seafood sandwiches and light French entreés at My Place, 7777 Girard.
