This last tour is the only one that requires mechanized transportation. From La Jolla Cove, travel northbound on Prospect Street in your vehicle until you reach Torrey Pines Road. Turn left onto Torrey Pines Road, then left again onto La Jolla Shores Drive. The street initially travels through residential area, but soon offers a scenic drive along the Pacific Ocean.

The first sites you will encounter (beyond the sparkling Pacific waters) are Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Birch Aquarium where visitors can view incredible displays of marine life. Further down the road, you will find the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) campus. The campus is home to the beloved La Jolla Playhouse, which has gained a favorable reputation in this seaside community for championing new plays.

Once you reach UCSD, turn left onto North Torrey Pines Road to continue your scenic drive. Attractions on this voyage include the Salk Institute, Torrey Pines Gliderport and the widely-renown Torrey Pines Golf Course. Stop for a tee time on this luxurious course, famed as the only public course on the PGA circuit. For those who continue northbound beyond the golf course, the Torrey Pines State Reserve provides beaches and shoreline nature walks.

Whether your preference is to visit distinguished art galleries, shop at trendy boutiques, or bask in the sun of the great outdoors, you will find an ideal tour in La Jolla. So, do not delay. Reserve a full day for sightseeing and begin your venture through the jewel of Southern California.
