just returned from a short trip to s diego---I had a great breakfast outside at the coronado hotel--and generally like to eat at george's in la jolla- and the beach at la jolla cove is intimate- the patio at la valencia has a great view--i sometimes get a drink there--la jolla has a little museum that sometimes has good shows -the zoo is also great--but not for food--

Because La Jolla is a small town, One day might be plenty, but because you are so close to San Diego and LA, it's a nice location to stay overnight and visit those cities as well.
I found La Jolla to be extremely quaint -- the downtown area is small but worthy of exploring -- nice shops and restaurants, as is the oceanside walk.
As I will be heading back there in a month, I did a bit of research myself and found a tip to visit that Mt. Soledad for panoramic views of the coast. Take Nautilus Street to the far east end.
Be sure to head just north of La Jolla and visit Del Mar, another quaint community, and also Torrey Pines State Park. If you head toward Los Angeles at all, you may want to consider Laguna Beach/Laguna Niguel.
Naturally, you will be heading toward San Diego, as well? I hope so!
Have fun!

SG, as you will actually be in San Diego, you won't have to go very far to get there. LA, on the other hand, is a couple of hours north on the freeway. There is not a great deal to do in La Jolla other than shopping, eating and admiring the views. Otherwise, there are all the other attractions of San Diego - the Zoo, Balboa Park and the museums there, Sea World, the Wild Animal Park, the Embarcadero and the Star of India, the Cabrillo Monument, the Gaslamp Quarter. You could also visit Coronado where you will find the Hotel Del Coronado and another quaint little community. You might also try a search here for other ideas. have a great time.
