The La Jolla Community Plan’s coastline chapter calls Subarea C La Jolla Shores. It says public access to the shore is available via La Jolla Shores Beach, which occupies the length of that subarea, and that public parking is available adjacent to the beach at Kellogg Park. It also says the beach front of the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club below the mean high tide line provides public access, and that the beach above the mean high tide line there is under private ownership.
The plan says the La Jolla Shores Precise Plan was adopted in 1972, and that the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance became part of the San Diego Land Development Code in 1974. The city’s La Jolla planning page lists a La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance Advisory Board. The same page says the northern part of La Jolla is separated from the rest of the community by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a portion of UC San Diego, and that neither is under the jurisdiction of the City of San Diego.
On 5 November 2026 the search site’s autocomplete returned no neighborhood, community, or subdivision named La Jolla Shores. This page still runs that name, with city La Jolla, so the empty result stays visible. It does not substitute ZIP 92037 or the La Jolla city search. Those homes are on the La Jolla page.
