Exploring Sunny Jim's Sea Cave in La Jolla, California
Sunny Jim's Sea Cave has been a La Jolla attraction for well over 100 years. With a tunnel entrance located in the Cave Store, legend says the cave even has ties to L. Frank Baum, creator of the Wizard of Oz and the Christmas song Baby Its Cold Outside. In this video we venture into the cave, discuss its history, and check out its views.

A lot of good details in your video regarding the cave, its history, and its namesake. Very well-researched! Thumbs up! When I was there a few years ago, I believe the entrance fee was only five dollars.
Before you even mentioned that the location was used in film I kept thinking that it's very cinematic. No surprise that it was! What a great little hidden gem. Had no idea about it! 👍
From time to time, surfers might swim over from The Shores, go up the stairs and run out the gift shop. At least that's what I heard back in the '80s when my friends and I did it! I really enjoy your videos. Always a "Must See"!

I used to swim over from the Shores snorkeling around and run up the stairs when I was a kid all the time.

Very nice journey here. I had no idea that this existed. I grew up in So. Cal and have some knowledge of the local attractions. Great job and keep on delivering your quality content. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. My daughter lives in Poway. This would be fun to see.
Swam in to the cave many times in the late 50’s
Super nice and informative vid sir - love how you timed the "but the best thing to see is.." with the camera exposure adjustment to reveal the view. Made me smile.
Very interesting. Thanks from the U.K.
Another great video, short but sweet. I hope one day you make it up to gold country and Northern California for a road trip to a few spots!
Awesome! I will definitely be checking this out soon! Thanks for sharing

Wow 🤩 the cave is really neat 😁😎
Awesome 😊
I love this place 😊
I discovered Sunny Jim's Cave the summer before my 9th grade year (1968), I don't remember what I paid, but I loved it, I took some friends from out of town there about 5 years ago, and we all loved it ($5). While it was noticeable in the video you didn't mention how steep the stairs are and that many of the steps are wet all the time, I highly recommend using the hand rail at all times.

I saw an old poster from the 1980s that had the price at a dollar.

Great share my friend, success for your channel and stay connected💚💚👍from Indonesia
Cool!
The outline of the cave opening looks like the head of a bearded ninja warrior to me.
I will talk to the mayor about the highway 80 plaque! 😂😅
Hello my friend, Your new share is great. See you at the next share
Really interesting history! I had heard that the cave was used during prohibition to smuggle illegal booze!! Haha!!

Its so cool when you swim to the cave and see all the tourists paying good money to do what a strong swimmer can do for free
