Cholla Cactus Garden
Situated on the Pinto Basin Drive, the Cholla Cactus Garden is said by some to be “one of the most incredible” attractions in famous Joshua Tree National Park. Complete with the mountains in the background, this field of literally thousands of cholla cactus is beautiful. There’s a special boardwalk and pedestrian path winding through the garden but don’t stray off the path. There’s a reason why they’re called “jumping cactus.”
La Jolla
Situated north of San Diego is the La Jolla. It’s a charming beachside community. The mile-long beach, La Jolla Shores is family-friendly. There’s also La Jolla Cove.
LJC is a little beach ensconced between stunning sandstone cliffs. It’s a great place for snorkeling and diving. Nearby are the local sea lions snoozing on the rocks. Visit the La Jolla Caves. Explore them or pause on the point and see the view of the cave-ridden coastline.
