Swim with the sharks in La Jolla

DH and I did the funnest thing this weekend so I thought I would share.  We decided to rent kayaks in La Jolla to do something different and get outside with the great weather we have been having.  We went to a kayaking store in La Jolla up the street from La Jolla shores beach.  We found out that the leopard sharks are breeding now and so there are tons of them in about three feet of water! They are harmless to humans and are about 3-5 feet long.  We rented snorkel gear and went swimming with them.  The water was so warm, around 70-75 degrees and the sharks were so cool!  There were so many of them!  It was definitely one of the greatest experiences I have had in San Diego, and I have lived here 10 years.

Re: Swim with the sharks in La Jolla

  • That does sound like fun!  I swam with sharks & rays in Belize and it did freak me out a bit (not the rays, but the sharks), but I'd love to do it again.  70-75 is still a bit cool for me (I'm a wuss), but maybe we'll have to check it out!!

    Thanks for the heads up!

  • wow!  amazing!

    did you get pics? 

  • My husband and I went kayaking 2 weekends ago, and I'm sure glad I didn't know that!!! I would have flipped out, especially because my DH thinks its funny to try and tip us over!!

  • No, i did not get any pictures unfortunately. Sad

    SDgirl22, I was scared initially too.  I didnt think I wanted to go in the water but then once I got in and saw how docile the sharks really were it was pretty amazing.  I definitely reccomend doing this before the season is over.

  • That sounds so cool!  I'm also wondering when the season ends.
  • Here is a link i found that explains it.  It says that they are there until mid September.

  • I have to say that the story I posted made it sound scary.  And it really wasn't.  You can just walk out, they are in like three feet of water.  There were tons of kids boogy boarding and playing.  I highly recommend it.

  • Very cool.  I've been wanting to do the kayaking since I moved here, but I had no idea there were friendly little sharks!  Thanks for posting this.  Do you need a reservation?
