Green stairs

Step off the stairs and you are on the beach at La Jolla Shores. Along the beach there are a few houses, the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, and the Marine Room restaurant. The proximity to the ocean makes for a beautiful dining experience, but the restaurant has been the victim of mother nature as well. In the 80's a big storm broke through the windows and flooded the restaurant. Click here to see an old photo of the crashing surf just outside the Marine Room.
That's not green carpeting or paint on the stairway, it's algae.
