Children's Pool in La Jolla

Located at Coast Boulevard and Jenner Street in La Jolla, the Children's Pool is a tiny cove protected by a concrete breakwater. Once a safe swimming area for children, it has now become more of a haven for sunbathing sea lions and seals. It is suggested that visitors and children come as spectators to watch the marine mammals in all their glory.
