La Jolla is a wealthy seaside resort community of up to 42,808 residents within the city of San Diego, California. La Jolla, like most of Southern California, is an area of great natural beauty with a mixture of geology - sandy beaches and rocky shorelines good for a variety of outdoor activities. The area has a number of public beaches, parks, as well as shopping areas. Population figures are imprecise because La Jolla's borders are indistinct. Generally the community's border starts at Pacific Beach to the south and extends along the Pacific Ocean shore north to include Torrey Pines State Reserve ending at Del Mar, California.
Along the way La Jolla encompasses neighborhoods like Bird Rock, Windansea, the La Jolla commercial "village", La Jolla Shores (Also includes a small business district of shops and restaurant in La Jolla along Avenida de la Playa) , La Jolla Farms, Torrey Pines, Mount Soledad and La Jolla Village (including La Jolla Village Square). Interstate 5 forms La Jolla's man-made border to the east, with the exception of some University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and commercial property east of I-5 and north of La Jolla Village Drive, which are also considered in the wider definition to be part of La Jolla.
