Marine Street Beach is a sandy beach in La Jolla located at the west end of Marine Street and Sea Lane.
It's legendary to body surfers and body boarders because of its thunderous waves, which crash right at shoreline. However, this beach may not be ideal for families, as there are no public restrooms or picnic areas and the rough surf is not well suited to children.
The kelp beds offer good diving, especially when the waters are clear.
Lifeguards are stationed during the summer and on peak weekends during the spring and fall.
