La Jolla California Scavenger Hunt

Description

This La Jolla Scavenger Hunt turns your coastal visit into an interactive adventure that encourages kids to explore, observe, and engage with the world around them. As you wander the scenic coastal trail from La Jolla Cove to the Children’s Pool, keep your eyes peeled for sea lions basking on the rocks and harbor seals lounging near the seawall.

Peer into tide pools for sea anemones, chitons, and other tiny treasures of the intertidal zone. Along the way, spot California poppies and bird of paradise blooms adding splashes of color to the bluff-top path. Overhead, pelicans, gulls, and Brandt’s cormorants soar by, while kayakers paddle past the iconic La Jolla Cave below. On land, the search continues for lifeguard trucks, colorful kites, the famous Windandsea surf shack.

Whether you’re a local family or visiting from out of town, this scavenger hunt brings La Jolla’s coastal wonders to life. It’s a fun and educational way to deepen your connection to nature while creating unforgettable memories.

We encourage you to embrace a tech-free experience with our printable scavenger hunt. However, if you’re already in La Jolla, lack access to a printer, or simply want to save paper and ink, you can conveniently retrieve the scavenger hunt on your phone or tablet and electronically check off items as you discover them. If using the printable scavenger hunt, don’t forget a pen or marker, and consider bringing along a clipboard to hold the paper for easy checking.
