A little about the area of Windansea (La Jolla): Windansea Beach, where the sand is soft, the water is stunning and the surfers abound. There's a good reason the locals frequent often and why so many San Diego wedding parties come to have their photographs taken here; its picturesque landscape creates the perfect setting. Dogs are allowed here after 6 pm. During fall and winter time, they can come earlier starting at 4 pm. Windansea Beach is great for surfing and other water activities. Its serenity and beauty has made it a popular spot for wedding photos in San Diego, San Diego engagement photos and so on. There are benches placed above the water, along the land, for those who'd like to simply sit and gaze out at the sea. You'll often see people reading a book or just relaxing, staring out into the surf.
