San Diego weekend excursion

All right, so next month is my wedding anniversary and also is the start to my 13 week IM training program, so I have to do right by my wife!

I would love to weekend down in the San Diego beach area, La Jolla etc. My wife is also a triathlete and a location with a good setup for open water swims would be great. Is it La Jolla cove that has the great open water swimming?

Any hints on a nice B&B or small hotel near the water and with nice evening atmosphere (not a partying area).

Help out a brother would ja?

OC,

Try the La Valencia for a romantic weekend getaway.

The Skyroom is their formal dining room located at the top of the hotel overlooking the cove.

The Tropical Patio and the Mediterranean Room are great places within the hotel for the incredible sunsets and for coffee/snacks.

They do have a pool, but ofcourse the cove is located steps away from the hotel. There is plenty of shopping in La Jolla as well as other great dining such as George’s (upstairs patio for lunch). A real hole in the wall is Jose’s located on Prospect. It has great Mexican food and see if you can nail down one of the three tables at the front. It is one of the better views of the cove while sipping a Margarita and downing a Polo Asada Burrito (least expensive food at the cove as well). Good luck and have fun.

La Jolla is the area (the cove) with the swimming you refer to. I live and work in La Jolla. There are some cottage type places I have seen.

My only question to you is how FAT is your wallet. It doesn’t get much spedier than La Jolla.

Try going to www.lajolla.com they have all sorts of listings.

If money is no object I would go to the La Valencia.

Good luck!

Nice B & B, stayed there a few years ago for my bro’s wedding…small, romantic, quiet, but a nice location…walking distance to cove for swimming, running, etc…

La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Shores have good OW swimming.

Both also have hotels with prices ranging all over the place.

Thanks very much for the great info. I will check out all the links that were sent to me.

If anyone has anymore suggestions, please forward them to me.
