Notes for every spot in La Jolla — offshore rocks
Four pinnacles sit off Point La Jolla where the reef drops to sand at 65–75 ft. They have 5–20 ft of relief with fingers, small caverns and holes. The kelp edge makes a natural line to follow up. They're mainly a boat dive; swimming there from shore is "extraordinarily ambitious." Skiffs and kayaks fish the area. (D5)
