La Jolla is a must-see when visiting San Diego, as well as being one of the most exquisite areas in the country to live. The first approach to this seaside community can feel like entering paradise as La Jolla Cove’s sun-dappled water comes into view. The first stop is the Birch Aquarium at Scripps. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this beautiful facility presents undersea creatures in realistic habitats, and allows guests to experience the frontiers of marine science through interactive museum exhibits featuring the latest research at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. In the Village of La Jolla, guests will be treated to lunch at the Crab Catcher. Set high on a cliff overlooking a spectacular ocean view, Crab Catcher offers an unforgettable dining experience. Fresh seafood is their specialty; the exciting . avors of California and the Pacific Rim their inspiration. After lunch, guests will enjoy exploring the boutiques, galleries and designer studios, viewing the coastline, or beach-combing on their own at the famous La Jolla Cove. All of these activities are set against a stunning backdrop that is often compared to the French Riviera for its aesthetic appeal.

A Seaside Stroll
Tuesday, March 16 • $59/person • 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Coronado began in 1886, the dream of Elisha Babcock, who vowed to create a resort that was to be the “finest watering spot on the Pacific Coast.” Along with its fabled Hotel del Coronado, the town became one of the great playgrounds of the world, drawing Presidents and princes, moguls and movie stars to its shores. Concurrently, North Island Naval Air Station was developed into one of this century’s most important aviation centers, (Lindbergh and Doolittle lit her skies and shaped the destiny of . ight in America). Coronado’s past, full of fabulous homes and famous memories, is still very much a part of San Diego’s life today. On a leisurely, guided stroll through quaint Coronado, guests see the stately mansion of John D. Spreckels and the cottage of the Duchess of Windsor, view the home where the Wizard of Oz was inspired, and tour the magnificent Hotel del Coronado. Guests enjoy the tales and tidbits of a hundred years of remarkable history … on Coronado Island!

After the walking tour, guests will have free time to explore Coronado on their own.
