About this spot
Take I5 North toward Ardath Road and continue until you reach Prospect Street, where you'll turn right. At the first fork, stay on Coast Boulevard. Find parking wherever space is available. From there, head downhill from the former La Jolla Shell Shop location, which has since been converted into a history museum. This will lead you to 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.
