This is an excellent beach for scuba diving diving when surf conditions are low. Telephone the beach information line before coming to the beach and always check with lifeguards before diving. Restrooms and Showers: A public restroom building with showers can be found in Scripps Park beside La Jolla Cove. Disabled Accessibility: Due to the steep hillside immediately adjacent, the beach itself is not wheelchair accessible. However, there is an excellent view from the park above and an extensive oceanside walkway in Scripps Park. Beach Fires: There are no receptacles for beach fires. Open fires are therefore prohibited. Regulations -- Standard San Diego beach regulations apply, with the following modifications: * While the consumption of alcohol at this beach area is prohibited at all times, consumption of alcohol at Scripps Park is prohibited between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and noon. City Attorney's Fact Sheet (PDF: 30K) * The taking or possession of sea life or artifacts is prohibited.... See less

With nearly 25,000 acres of federally-recognized tribal land, the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation is the largest Native American reservation in San Diego County, and it rests in some of the most remote and inaccessible high mountain wilderness areas of Southern California. Snow remnants pictured above in March 2006 — two weeks after major snow storms dumped more than 36 inches of snow on the San Diego mountains and closed all roads in and out of the surrounding communities — Los Coyotes Indian Reservation appears more like a national park than anything to do with city life. Los Coyotes Cahuilla Indian territory includes San Diego County's highest lookout point, Hot Springs Mountain. At 6,533 feet, Hot Springs Mountain peak is 11 feet higher than the more famous Cuyamaca Peak. On a clear day one can see the Pacific Ocean from the spectacular Hot Springs Mountain peak view point on the Los Coyotes mountain. The Salton Sea can also be seen from the reservation.

The beautiful park offers camping and hiking in an oak woodland forest, with a sprinkling of pines and lovely meadows with creeks. There are over 100 miles of trails which accommodate hikers, bikers, and equestrians. The two family camps, Paso Picacho and Green Valley, are open and on the reservation system spring through fall. Green Valley sits at an elevation of 4,000 feet and has a creek which runs through the middle of the campground. The day use area offers sets of cascades and shallow pools, great for water play on hot days. Green Valley has 81 campsites. Paso Picacho, 5 miles north, sits at an elevation of 5,000 feet. The most popular hikes start from this camp, including the 2 mile hike up Stonewall Peak (elevation 5,700 feet), and the 3.5 mile hike up Cuyamaca Peak (elevation 6,512 feet), both which offer breathtaking views of the deserts to the east, the coast to the west, and Lake Cuyamaca at the bottom. Lake Cuyamaca, operated by the Helix Water District, is two miles north... See less

This 600,000 acre park has hundreds of miles of dirt roads. Most are accessible with 2WD high clearance vehicles. Soft sand in washes are common, so keep you speed up & do not come to a sudden stop in these areas. Small boulders on the road are not unhead of. There may be some rocky obstacles along the way, so take plenty of precautions & drive at a moderate speed. Racing around fast (over 25mph) , tears up the trails, damages the plants, disrupts the wildlife & may eventually lead to road closures. A great back country map of this region is Tom Harrison San Diego BackCountry Map which can be found at most stores that carry a good selction of wilderness maps. See less

SAN DIEGO - It is a humble assemblage of ingredients: a lump of fried or grilled fish, shredded cabbage, salsa fresca and white sauce in a corn tortilla, with a wedge of lime perched on top. But done properly - with fresh fixings, just the right mix of spices and deft cooking technique - there is nothing quite like a fish taco to slake hunger after a morning in the breakers of San Diego's beaches. It is believed to have made its North America debut here a quarter-century ago, a concept borrowed from beach-stand vendors in Baja California. And it since has gained iconic status, the lunch or bar grub of choice for surfers, fishermen and other beachgoers. Fish tacos are served everywhere in San Diego County - from fast-food joints to upscale restaurants - but the variance in quality has just as wide a swing. Though simple, this is an easy item to foul up. If the fish isn't fresh, the taco can be dry, with a fishy taste. If the batter or breading is laid on too heavily, and the cooking oil... See less

Welcome to Galco's Soda Pop Stop, where you will find over 450 different sodas in glass bottles and half forgotten candies. (Yes, we do also carry over 500 different beers from around the world, but these are not yet available online.) We recently commissioned an exclusive bottling of two of our most unique flavors. As these sodas are not available anywhere else, may we suggest that you peruse the "Floral and Vegetable" category of our website and try the light flavor of Sweet Blossom, pressed from real roses, and Mr. Q. Cumber, made with real cucumbers! You may have seen us in such magazines as Rachel Ray, Westways, and Sunset, and on such television programs as "Visiting With Huell Howser" on PBS or "Modern Marvels" on the History Channel.
