Those who want to venture beyond the doors of the Grande Colonial will discover a mecca of shopping, sightseeing and recreation made all the better by the picturesque vantage points and gifted good looks of this town overlooking the sea. There are many things to do in La Jolla within walking distance of the hotel such as the picturesque La Jolla Cove.

La Jolla Cove is a small beach, tucked between sandstone cliffs. Because of its amazing vistas, La Jolla Cove is one of the most photographed beaches in Southern California.  La Jolla Cove is within easy walking distance of The Grande Colonial Hotel in La Jolla, California and retains a character that is truly unique to La Jolla.

The north facing La Jolla Cove has unusually coarse sand so sandals or water shoes are a must. Grassy Scripps Park is adjacent and provides an excellent respite from the sand and a great spot for a picnic.  Water visibility at La Jolla Cove is excellent and can sometimes exceed 30 feet, making it a popular location for scuba diving and snorkeling. La Jolla Cove lies within the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve so thus is a look but don't touch area to maintain the beauty that is La Jolla Cove.

With its ideal location, gracious service and environment of extraordinary comfort, the Grande Colonial Hotel provides the ideal destination for travelers to La Jolla Cove.
