La Jolla

STAY:

Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa -

Step into this hotel and experience a truly enjoyable vacation. From coffee in the morning to a cocktail by the outdoor firepit at night, this hotel was amazing ! Highly recommend spending an entire day by the pool soaking in the sun and enjoying the quiet. The property is large and you may be lucky enough to see a wedding ! I really enjoyed the distance this hotel was from the beach as well as its rental bikes !

Each corner of this hotel is beautiful filled with greenery, gardens, fountains, and feels like the perfect escape to enjoy a couple’s weekend getaway with spa treatments available or a great spot for a girl’s weekend with lounge chairs, pool cabanas, and more ! Don’t miss sunset here – the sky was BEAUTIFUL!!! I thought that the month of October was the perfect time to enjoy a classic California fall by the ocean !

Beaches:

Scripps Beach –

A perfect spot to grab a coffee at Pinpoint Café and then head to the beach to surf, enjoy the sun, and then grab a sandwich at Carolines Seaside Café !

coffee:

Il Giardino di Lilli –

Stumbled upon the CUTEST coffee shop. Fresh pastries (and honestly AMAZING), coffee, and an adorable outdoor patio to enjoy. I was transported to Italy when I walked in and I would 1000% come back here.

Better Buzz –

Aesthetic coffee shop in a great location. Walking distance to all of the cute + fun shops !
