Rent a stand-up paddle board for 2 hours and head out into La Jolla’s Ecological Reserve. Explore the Seven Sea Caves and see lots of marine life.

Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) is one of the best ways to get out and enjoy the water. The sport began as an ancient Hawaiian tradition that was reintroduced to the world in the mid-60s.

SUP boarding is one of the best ways to explore the Seven Sea Caves of La Jolla, a remarkable creation full of marine wildlife. These 7 unique sea caves are filled with local history and natural beauty.

The La Jolla Ecological Reserve starts at the Seven Sea Caves and extends north to Scripps Pier. This remarkable stretch of water is home to an underwater park, part of La Jolla’s submarine canyon, giant kelp forests and a rocky reef.

The preserve shelters numerous species, including leopard sharks, sea turtles, sea lions, dolphins and migrating whales. Only 2% of the world’s ocean water is protected by state and federal law, which also makes La Jolla’s ecological reserve a rare place to see undisturbed wildlife in their natural habitat.

The stand up paddle boards are inflatable, lightweight, and easy to transport from the shop to the beach and back.
