Finding Sea Glass on the Beach at La Jolla

If you’re a frequent beachgoer, you may have had the experience of noticing something smooth among the sand and reaching down to pick up what looks to be some sort of precious stone. They’re the size of pebbles, colorful, and often translucent. But these aren’t gemstones of any kind. Instead, these stones are called “sea glass” and come from bits of broken glass that fell into the ocean for one reason or another. You may even find some here on the shores of La Jolla.

In San Diego and La Jolla, winter doesn’t mean that the time to explore the shore is over. Here you can kayak around La Jolla Cove, catching sight of the sea lions and exploring the famous Seven Sea Caves of La Jolla. And don’t think that the time of year means you can’t snorkel. Read more here…

Traveling to La Jolla in a Group | The Bed & Breakfast Inn at La Jolla

Sometimes traveling in a group is something you choose to do for fun: maybe you and your friends miraculously have your schedules aligned and want to take some time for each other, or you take a couples weekend with a few other couples. Other times, traveling in a group is a requirement, like work trips or trips planned through some organization of which you’re apart. Whatever the case may be, traveling within a group to La Jolla or otherwise is a very different experience from traveling alone or with a special someone. However, it can be just as rewarding, provided you take steps to make the most of it.

 

Communication is Key

In any vacation, everyone has their own itineraries and list of priorities. It can be easy to have wires crossed, and that can lead to frustrations within the group. Read more here…
