La Jolla Sea Caves - The Clam's Cave
The Clam's Cave is the only cave oppening in La Jolla that is visible from the street along Coast Blvd. The Clam's Cave is double-sided, lending significance to the name "the clam," since a clam also has two sides.
The other caves in La Jolla are visible only from the ocean and the only way to explore these caves is by kayak or to swim. However, kayaking to the La Jolla Caves is usually the most efficient, fun way to explore the La Jolla Cave area.
You must be on our kayak tour in order to enter the Clam's Cave. We usually enter this cave on our kayak tour if the ocean conditions permit. The lifeguards require a guide certified in this area specifically, and you must be wearing a kayak helmet, which we provide for all our tour participants.
The La Jolla Sea Caves are made up of compacted sandstone and are naturally formed. Over the years the sandstone has slowly been eroded by wind, water and rain creating seven caves that have been an attraction for over 100 years. The Clam's unique shape allows kayakers to paddle through the cave's entrance during calm ocean conditions.
Sea lions are usually found sunbathing nearby the Clam's Cave on the rocks. Take a closer look at these California Sea lions while kayaking along side them on your La Jolla kayak tour or kayak rental.
We invite you to kayak the caves of La Jolla with one of our stable sit-on-top ocean kayaks. Kaykaing in La Jolla Shores
The seven sea caves of La Jolla have a lot of history associated with their names, and the La Jolla Caves are a point of interest for many visitors to the San Diego area. The La Jolla Caves sit within the Ecological Reserve off of La Jolla Shores and nearby La Jolla Cove.
The waters within La Jolla Shores are all part of an Ecological Reserve that is protected by law. This Underwater Ecological Reserve prohibits the removal of any archeological artifacts or any marine life, sea creatures, mollusks, fish, etc. Lobster trapping is allowed by permit only during the lobster-trapping season from October to March. Local La Jolla restaurants will advertise local lobster on their menus due to these spiny lobster in the kelp beds and Ecological Reserve. This lobster-trapping reference lends the name to the sea cave, Shopping Cart, as this limited "shopping" for lobster is very strictly monitored by the Fish & Game Department.
The best way to witness these spectacular naturally formed sea caves is to do so by kayaking La Jolla . Make reservations for our La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour to witness this spectacular scenery.
