Welcome to
The La Jolla Childrens Pool at
850 Coast Blvd. La Jolla Ca. 92037
Welcome to The La Jolla Childrens Pool web page. The La Jolla Childrens pool is widely recognized as a home for harbor seals which take advantage of the large sea wall to relax and give birth to pups in the winter.
Home of "Seal Beach" and the largest group of seals on the Southern California coastline.
Seal Beach San Diego attracts nearly 80,000 monthly visitors to La Jolla and the La Jolla San Diego coastline.
When it comes to beautiful places to see and visit in San Diego, La Jolla is very high on the list. With a colorful small 10 square block downtown that rivals places like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, this quiet coastal community is tucked away right on the ocean in San Diego.
La Jolla has about 2 1/2 miles of sidewalks and trails that go along the downtown area. This is the home of the famous "Childrens Pool", where mass numbers of sea lions relax and spend the day. It is a very popular place for tourists to visit and is well known in the area as one of the very few sea lion refuges in San Diego.
Come spend an afternoon with us in "The Jewel" of San Diego.
(The spanish translation of La Jolla is "the jewel".)

La Jolla Children's Pool Description:
The Children's Pool (850 Coast Boulevard), also known as the Casa, is a small beach partially protected by a seawall. The original intention was to create a fully protected swimming area, but sand has filled in much of the area inside the wall. This is a very picturesque beach with a panoramic view. During much of the year, seals and sea lions are present on or near the beach and a reserve for these marine mammals, called Seal Rock, is just offshore.
The Children's Pool, is within a short walk of the commercial area of the community of La Jolla. Grassy park areas can be found a short distance to the north and south. Several small beaches are nearby including Wipeout Beach to the south and Shell Beach to the north.
This is a popular beach for scuba divers because of the reefs just offshore. These same reefs can create very strong currents and other hazards, particularly in high surf conditions.
