See also: List of beaches in California

This is a list of beaches in San Diego County, California. The beaches are listed in order from north to south, and they are grouped (where applicable) by the community in which the beach is situated.

La Jolla Shores Beach

Some beaches in the San Diego area are long continuous stretches of sandy coastline, others, like many of the beaches in the Village of La Jolla (which was built on a large rocky promontory), are small sand beaches within rocky coves or between rocky points. A number of beaches in the San Diego area have cliffs behind them, usually composed of rather soft sandstone; some other beaches front freshwater lagoons where rivers run into the coast.
