La Jolla Pictures
Children's Pool

Built for the children of La Jolla to have a place to play more safely on the beach, this breakwater originally had openings in it to let the water come and go, but after a tragic accident, they were closed. After some years, the sand built up here, making a nice, protected beach. In the 1990s, a colony of harbor seals decided this beach would make a fine nursery, and now they lay on the beach and have their pups here every spring. It all makes for fun, watching them, but the beach is now off-limits to humans.

It's easy to forget about the ocean behind your while you're watching the seals, but if the surf is high, you may get a surprise drenching.
