Children's Pool
Seal and Sea Lion Watching
Affectionately known as “Casa” by locals, Children’s Pool is but a small cove that was once ideal for children because it is protected by a man-made break. But swimming is no longer permitted here because the beach is now a protected area for seals and sea lions.
Today, Children’s Pool is a fabulous place for sunbathing, picnicing on grassy park areas to the north and south of the Pool and still offers great views of ocean horizons. The seal-watching feature attracts over 80,000 annual visitors. The area below Scripps Park is a popular tide pool with other tidepools along the La Jolla shoreline.
Children’s Pool lies between La Jolla Cove to its north and Windansea Beach to its south. If you enjoy walking and people watching, the trails next to Coast Boulevard high above the beach provide panoramic views along the sandstone cliffs on the ocean’s edge. The steep inclines are not handicap friendly.
For Your Beach Safety
Lifeguards staff the beach daily from 9:00 a.m. to about dusk but are subject to change. For more info visit beach safety and regulations.

Public restrooms and showers are located near the lifeguard station. Because of steep cliff inclines, Children’s Pool is not wheelchair accessible but wheelchairs can be used on its narrow seawall.
