La Jolla shores has a launch for smaller crafts. Just pull up, park unload and go park in the lot. If you want to map it, it's on Avenida de la Playa. Just go straight on it till you hit the sand/beach. Have fun!

Oh! be wary driving on the sand if you don't have a 4x4. I got stuck the other day, thanks Sean for towing me out!

I looked on google earth looks like a lot of parking lots where do you park though is there a pay pot or just street parking

I haven't been up there yet but here are a few things I have read about here on BWE about LJ. There is a stop sign somewhere near the beach but it is on the left side of the road so you have a high chance of missing it. Supposedly the life guards are or are going to start ticketing people for not stopping there. In SD a life guards ticket is just as real as a cops so be careful. There have been break ins especially out of the back of truck beds. I wouldn't bring anything you care about or can't replace. Although La Jolla is usually a nice place. Been there a lot, just never launched/been to the waters edge except for the Children's Pool to see the seals. The OEX cam shows it and it looks like a nice place to launch. Just be aware of where the wildlife preserve is, guessing that is also a hefty fine. Not sure if any of this helps but just in case. Good luck!

Be careful of those pretty young girls in bikinis. If you look at them from the front and from the rear as they are walking you could end up with that stop sign in yer face!
