Ellen Browning Scripps Park

Waterfront grassy space connecting popular La Jolla beaches

Bathed in greenery, Ellen Browning Scripps Park affords spellbinding views not only of the ocean, but of popular beaches and of La Jolla village itself. A walkway spans the length of the park — simply follow this to enjoy a smorgasbord of incredible vistas. You’ll pass La Jolla Cove, with its azure water, and Boomer Beach, where dozens of sea lions and harbor seals gather for a midafternoon repose. Continue down the path to see Shell Beach, with its rocky shores. These views and more make Ellen Browning Scripps Park a gem among La Jolla parks.

Looking to have a picnic or simply breathe in those refreshing sea breezes? The park’s wide-open green spaces are the perfect place to lay a blanket. Sunset from this vantage point is incredible, too.
