Iconic and Historic Setting in La Jolla Cove

Originally founded in 1939 as the Adult Recreation Club (A.R.C.), our organization has long been dedicated to providing a welcoming place where residents and visitors alike can enjoy recreation in the natural seaside beauty of La Jolla Cove.

Under our charter with the City of San Diego, we operate as a nonprofit organization, allowing us to offer remarkably affordable access to our facilities.

Our venue is available for rental by individuals and organizations that provide recreational, wellness, and community-focused activities, helping ensure that this historic space continues to serve the community for generations to come.

We provide an unforgettable backdrop to any social event you wish to make special. Our historic Club building is perched directly on the renowned La Jolla Cove with lovely grounds, fine amenities and unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. This is truly one of Southern California’s most beautiful coastlines. Our facilities accommodate up to 175 guests with dining available both inside as well as in our picturesque lawn area.
