Fodor's Expert Review Scripps Inn

You'd be wise to make reservations well in advance for this small, quiet inn tucked away on Coast Boulevard atop Whale Watch Point; its popularity with repeat visitors ensures that it's booked year-round. The inn is a short walk from La Jolla Cove’s snorkeling and tide pools, and it's common to wake up to the sound of the ocean waves. Rooms are done in a beige and blue beachy style with plantation shutters, ocean views, and flat-screen TVs. Some rooms have fireplaces and the room rate includes parking and Wi-Fi.
