Minutes from The Villas at Rancho Valencia, La Jolla is the definitive seaside resort community, a wealthy and picturesque beachfront town with some of the most beautiful cliffside neighborhoods in America. Home to the famed Torrey Pines Golf Course as well as the upscale shopping haven of its downtown area, La Jolla is a mixture of sandy beaches and rocky shorelines, making it ideal for lovers of the outdoors.

La Jolla is known for its pristine beaches, which are frequented by surfers, kayakers, sunbathers and wild seals. All around town are the former hangouts of bygone Hollywood stars, including the La Valencia Hotel, which still welcomes vacationing movie stars. Spectacular views of the ocean and San Diego can be enjoyed from the top of Mount Soledad, where some of the most lavish homes in America overlook the ocean.
