Covid-19 Precautions?
Mask seems to be optional here. Only half of the people were wearing masks. The beaches are small so we would imagine it would be tough to social distance during the weekends. We went on a weekday and we were able to enjoy the area safely.
Should you go?
Yeah. You can’t beat free! The La Jolla Shoreline is pretty big. Plenty of room to follow covid-19 guidelines and have fun. Our kids really loved seeing all the animals around La Jolla that the cliffs home.
