Children's Pool

Children's Pool Review

Because of the pool's location at the tip of the La Jolla peninsula, you can actually look east to get unmatched panoramic views of the coastline and ocean. This shallow cove, protected by a seawall, has small waves and no riptide. The area just outside the pool is popular with scuba divers, who explore the offshore reef when the surf is calm. Groups of harbor seals hang out along the beach, claiming it as their own during the winter pupping season. At this rate, it may have to be renamed the "Seals' Pool." While kids love to watch the seals and sea lions, swimming is not advised. Best for: families, scenic views, seal watching. Amenities: lifeguard year-round, limited street parking, picnic tables, showers, toilets.
