La Jolla, California is a great place to walk by the sea, kayak by a small cave, watch wildlife, and sit on the beach. During our stay in the spring of 2012, a pregnant seal walked up on the beach where we were sitting. We also paid a few dollars each to walk down inside a cave, thinking “yeah, what the heck,” but the views were stunning. On the rocks by the sea, there are plenty of birds and seals basking in the sun. I will definitely be back to kayak by the cave my brother and I refer to as ‘the Peter Pan cave.’
