About this spot
Take I5 North toward Ardath Road and continue until you reach Prospect Street, where you'll turn right. At the initial fork, bear right onto Coast Boulevard. Find parking wherever available in the area. From your vehicle, head downhill from the location of the former La Jolla Shell Shop, which has since been converted into a history museum, to reach The Clam.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
