New 3-4 mi Easy La Jolla Shores to La Jolla Cove with dogs

Join me & my dogs on a New & easy hike from La Jolla Shores Beach to La Jolla Cove. This will be a mix of pavement & trail and beach if we choose to walk on the sand. We will stop at the Cove so our dogs can see the seabirds and the seals. There's a nice restroom at the Cove where we will take a water break.
We will meet near the restrooms just north of the parking lot at La Jolla Shores. We will start there and head south along the beach if we choose that option.
There is no shade along this trail and weather is warming up that's why were starting early. Please account for traffic if you have a long drive.
If you are lost call: 858-735-4527. Please pack sun protection, bring water for yourself and your dog.
Approximate Hiking Distance: 3-4 miles.
Approximate Length of Hike: 1-1/2 - 2 Hours depending on pace.
Approximate Pace: Easy dog walking pace.
Approximate Elevation Gain: None
Estimated Difficulty Level: Easy
Meeting Time: We will start nlt 5 mins after the posted start time.
