How to get there

N32° 52' 11.2044"W117° 15' 10.9584"
This location is on the cliff look out behind the Martin Johnson House. Exit La Jolla Shores Dr. on Biological Grade and make your way around the corner to the parking lot above the Martin Johnson House. You'll see signs that indicate Coast Trail and you'll want to find one of the free one hour parking spots in the upper lot. Once you've parked, you'll find a gate in the bushes that leads to a cliff lookout. Looking south you can see all the way down to La Jolla Cove and overlook Scripps Pier. To the north you'll see Blacks Beach and Torrey Pines golf course.
