Surf hits the waves and wildlife perch the cliffs at the La Jolla Cove, in La Jolla near San Diego, southern California, on the west coast of the United States on the Pacific Ocean. A major tourist destination, the cove features swimming and snorkeling, as well as scuba diving in the underwater ecological reserve, protected by eroded sea cliffs populated by seabirds such as gulls, brown pelicans, and cormorants and by California harbor seals.
