Kick Back and Relax by the Shore at Windansea Beach

Relax in the Sand

Windansea Beach is the best place in San Diego to take a stroll along the shore. This beach, in particular, tends to be less crowded than some of the others in La Jolla, which makes it perfect for casual visits and relaxing by the water. Pick up your favorite book, get comfortable, and soak up the San Diego sun. You might even spot some local surfers riding the waves. 

Indulge in Water Sports

Speaking of surfing, Windansea happens to offer some of the most intense and challenging surfing conditions in San Diego. The tide is strong, and the waves break hard into the rocky floor. It’s smart to be cautious when attempting to ride these waves. If you’re not an expert, you can have plenty of excitement by watching the seasoned locals try their hand.

Explore the Beach

Due to the rocky terrain and intense waves, visitors can find secluded alcoves along the beach that are perfect for the explorers at heart. Don’t hesitate to take a look around. You never know what books and crannies you might come across.

Check Out the Surf Shack

Don’t miss the recreated version of the old surf shack. Surfers built the original shack in 1946. A high tide destroyed it in 2015, but locals have since rebuilt the shack as a monument. This historical landmark is a symbol of the surf culture in La Jolla that dates back to the early 90s. Plus, it’s a great photo opportunity!

Stay to Watch the Sunset

There are many places in the area to catch a glimpse of a San Diego sunset, but Windansea Beach is at the top of that list. There’s something magnificent about watching the sun sink behind the Pacific Ocean. You won’t find better views than these.
