La Jolla Children's Pool

No matter what time of year you visit, The Children's Pool in La Jolla, teeming with sea lions, is an experience that captures the fresh air, ocean breezes, and sense of adventure we love about California. The waves are impressive, the sea lions loud and lounging on the cliffs, or frolicking in the surf, and the photo opportunities endless. This spot is a must-see for any tourist making their way down the coast.

There are many different aspects of the children's pool. Sometimes its the joy of watching the seals bask in the sun or of watching the pups at play, sometimes their first venture into the ocean minutes after birth. Sometimes its to relax in the serenity of the sunset and waves. This visit brought me to experience the force of mother nature. I was hoping to see some people on the wall daring the waves, but it was obvious from the start that mother nature would be the victor here. A thing of beauty.

Like most of California, La Jolla's majestic view of the Pacific enchants any beach bum; but its biggest draw is not the shoreline but what lies languorously on it. On La Jolla’s Children’s Pool Beach, get up close and personal with the enviably languid harbor seals. Separated by a flimsy rope, the sight of seals so close tempts every onlooker. As they bask in the California sun their coats, ranging from golden to chocolate brown to silvery gray, shimmer; their spots glint playfully; and, as they make their way to and from the shore, their bulbous bodies roll pleasantly across the sand. After you tire of the sight, take hold of your loved one’s hand and stroll down the walkway to absorb the majesty of the crashing waves against the craggy cliffs.
