Meet La Jolla

The charming central Village of La Jolla is ringed by the sea on three sides, and offers an abundance of shops, restaurants, galleries and activities. Attendees will love the neighborhood's blend of elegance and SoCal mellow, as well as the stunning views of the shimmering Pacific.

A thriving hub for biotech and more, La Jolla hosts such world-renowned research centers as the University of California San Diego, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. All are prime places to meet and learn amid the buzz of intellectual activity.

A world apart from the bustle and activity of La Jolla and San Diego, the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve brims with natural beauty, offering walking trails with magnificent ocean views and showcasing the region's unique biodiversity. It's the perfect place for attendees to stretch their legs and take in La Jolla's amazing outdoors.

Play a round against a backdrop of sweeping ocean views at this two-time host of the U.S. Open golf tournament. Torrey Pines hosts not one but two of the most picturesque championship 18-hole golf courses in the world, and nearby hotels, restaurants and meeting venues make for the perfect package.

It's hard to top La Jolla when it comes to dining with a view of San Diego's breathtaking coastline. Take your pick from such beloved restaurants as George's at the Cove and Duke's La Jolla, both overlooking scenic La Jolla Cove; or the Marine Room, which sits on the beach (and, depending on the tide, essentially in the waves) at La Jolla Shores.

La Jolla is known worldwide for its gorgeous ocean views and pristine beaches. But the Village area is also a hotbed of great shopping, offering everything from luxury labels to unique designers as well as one-of-a-kind boutiques. Attendees can indulge in plenty of retail finds and maybe a little something to take home.

A contemporary-art mecca with stunning views of the Pacific, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla hosts artistic treasures in a beautiful setting. The museum's grounds include the Edwards Sculpture Garden, an outdoor space that offers a refined and whimsical atmosphere for a memorable meeting.

A nationally esteemed incubator of exciting new work and Broadway hits, La Jolla Playhouse offers creative excitement and discovery in its three main performance venues. The theater is a must-visit for culture-minded attendees, as well as a great choice for memorable meetings.
