La Jolla's most beautiful beach is right at our doorsteps! A note to travelers: Windansea is different from most SoCal beaches. The shore break can get very big and you need to be careful. Also, if you are not an expert Surfer please don't Surf directly in front of the house on the main break. You will get hurt. Please Surf a surrounding beach break if you are a beginner.
