Hospital Beach

The featured image was taken from Hospital Beach, aka “Hospitals.” It’s located along Coast Boulevard in La Jolla. It got its name from the building nearby on Coast Blvd that used to house mostly medical and pharma businesses. Park near 274 Coast Blvd. There's plenty of parking on the street and the stairway to access the beach is directly north of that address. Once you make your way down the stairs, the sand pockets resembling crater formations will primarily be to the south of the stairwell (on your left).
