La Jolla Cove is a beach in La Jolla, California. It is a very small beach within walking distance from the Children's Pool Beach, and is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California. Scripps Park, a grassy area commonly used for picnicking, is located on the bluffs above the beach.

La Jolla Cove is popular for swimming, scuba diving and snorkelling. However, since La Jolla Cove is within the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park (a marine refuge area), swimming devices (surfboards, boogie boards, even inflatable mattresses) are not permitted at the cove, and this rule is carefully enforced by the lifeguards, specifically the part defined as the Ecological Reserve.

Just a short swim away to the right of the coast is "Sunny Jim Cave," a popular destination for tourists. It is also accessible from a nearby store, which charges a nominal fee to go down a staircase leading to the cave.

No fishing or collecting of marine invertebrates, (even taking dead specimens or shells) is allowed. All sea animals in this area are protected by law.
