What area? If you'll be in the Bay Area (San Francisco/San Jose), I've always enjoyed Fitzgerald Marine Reserve near Half Moon Bay -- http://fitzgeraldreserve.org/.

You need to be more specific I agree. California has a coastline of about (what?) 1000 miles (give or take).
However, if you haven't thought about where you are going and are planning a trip around a tide pool, I would recommend either the La Jolla Cove or La Jolla Shores. Both areas are close to each other and are past of a State of California protected underwater reserve.

In SD, there are neat tide pools at Point Loma. When you arrive at Point Loma, you will be far above the waterline near the lighthouse (which is neat and definitely worth a look). There is a road you can take down to the waterline to the tide pools. The last couple times I was there, a park ranger was also at the tide pools talking about the marine life.
Near Carmel, Point Lobos is fabulous - probably my most favorite place for tide pools. It is a beautiful place with tons of wildlife. Great for kids.
