Windansea Beach: Surfing Hot Spot
Written by Mauro Suarez   

Past all of La Jolla's ritzy homes, hotels, and well known restaurants, lies Windansea Beach. Down the hill, this beach is flanked by surfers and sunbathers on hot summer days. With sandstone cliffs, a sandy beach, and amazing surf breaks, Windansea Beach has been a popular surfing haunt as far back as the 1940s and a gathering spot of the Windansea Surf Club since the 1960s.

The shack on the beach that was built by surfers during World War 2 is now a San Diego Historic site. The beach is also great for body surfing and snorkeling. The north end of Windansea is fairly rocky, with the south being sandier, great for walking along the edge of the water. You can also enjoy a picnic in the grass next to the beach and bask in the splendid views of the Pacific Ocean.

Discover Local Businesses along Highway 101
Written by San Diego North   

Avocado breaks—yeah, we take ’em. And spoiled by the weather—yeah, we are. The true California Lifestyle is alive and well here, but we want to share that with you! We want you to enjoy what makes us different, and to do that, we need you to patronize the folks who live here. This guide is built by locals and contains only those businesses that are owned and operated by locals. So if you’re feeling like a Starbucks, give Vinaka a try instead. We have chain cafés here, but try the Potato Shack, The Grand Deli, The Naked Café, or Beach Break instead. We know you’ll like, and remember, the difference! And that difference is what makes all the participants on our Cruisin’ Highway 101 ­guide so special: memories to take home. We hope you enjoy your stay with us and that you’ll use this guide to grab some of that California Lifestyle for yourself. Remember what we never forget... buy local!
