Kayaking La Jolla Cove and Sea Caves
The La Jolla coast boasts some of the most fascinating geology in Southern California. That includes handsome bluffs and arches, not to mention two significant submarine canyons. But the area’s best-known coastal landforms are the seven La Jolla caves, likely the most famous sea caves in the Golden State.
The Seven Caves of La Jolla come gouged into a 200-foot-high, mainly north-facing sandstone bluff line. Specifically, the sandstone cliffs represent the Point Loma Formation, which dates back some 75 million years to the Cretaceous Period. (For context, that was the last geologic stretch of the so-called Age of the Dinosaurs.)
These sea caves are thought to explain the name of the La Jolla coastline. “La Jolla” likely derives from a Kumeyaay Indian label, mut-lay-hoyyah, translating to “the cave place.” At some point the mut in that phrase was dropped, leaving lay-hoyyah—aka La Jolla.
