21 Best Things to Do in San Diego, From Museum Visits to Scenic Hikes | Condé Nast Traveler

"Once intended as a protected swimming area, the Children’s Pool now serves as a beloved vantage point to watch seals sunbathe on the rocks and is a popular photo stop in La Jolla Cove." - Archana Ram

Great place to just walk and enjoy the evening and take visitors from out of town! The smell is strong but easy to get used to as you enjoy the bird watching, seals, and sea lions swimming in the surf below. Parking can be a little tricky but not impossible if you are patient. Plenty of bars/restaurants/ice cream shops nearby.

Great place to go if you want to see some super cute seals and their pups! The beach is of course fenced at some points to keep people safe but you can still get close enough to get some nice photos. Public washrooms are available which is nice. Definitely a must see if you live inland like me and a great sight even in less than stellar weather but having seen it I'm unlikely to go back unless I'm bringing someone else for the first time.

Great place to come and look at the seals. Arrive early to heal a parking spot. First time I came there was an abundance of seals, 2nd time I visited there wasn't many. Be careful walking along the seawall, you may get wet.

Such a beautiful place! The wildlife is vibrant here. Seals bathing in the sun, pups taking a swim, and other marine life makes this a relaxing and must visit attraction.

It is a perfect place to take your afternoon strolls. The sea lions are protected, and you can enjoy watching them lounge from a distance. Perfect activity for the whole family. And it's FREE!

Cute harbor seals and a view. Bring a jacket if you go in the morning, it gets chilly! Recommend getting there early to avoid parking traffic. 🦭

This place is good only if you want to watch the seals and sea lions, which is a unique experience. However, I highly recommend not swimming or going into the water because of the high bacterial contamination from the seals and their body wastes/ excreta. There are a lot of flies, and the odor can be very strong. It can put a damper on your experience due to these conditions. I wish there was a board at the beach with these warnings.
