Downtown La Jolla is noted for its jewelry stores, upmarket restaurants and hotels. Prospect Street and Girard Avenue also have several famous boutiques and restaurants (including local favorites, such as the Girard Gourmet and Harry's Coffee Shop). Notable for its architectural and historical presence is the La Valencia Hotel, which used to welcome movie stars on retreat from Hollywood during the silent film era.Skimboarding and surfing are very popular at many of La Jolla's beaches including Windansea Beach. The location is mentioned in the legendary Beach Boys song, 'Surfin' USA,' in the final verse with the line "All over La Jolla..." Ocean swimming at La Jolla Cove is very popular year round, where a swimming channel in the underwater park is demarcated and marked with buoys. For many years, La Jolla has been the host of a rough water swim.
La Jolla Shores Park is one of the most beautiful coastal sections of San Diego. La Jolla Shores is lined with huge palm trees, green grass and great beaches that go for miles up the California coastline. La Jolla Shores is known for great surfing, picnics and parties and also for la Jolla Cove which sits right next to it which is an underwater preserve that is also popular for kayakers, snorkelers and scuba divers.
