Also known as the Casa, the Children’s Pool is a small beach partially protected by a sea wall.  The original intention here was to create a fully protected swimming area, although sand has now filled in much of the area that exists to the inside of the wall.

This is a very beautiful beach, offering several panoramic views.  Almost all year long, seals and sea lions are present on or near the beach, with a reserve for these marine mammals, known as Seal Rock being just a bit offshore.

The Children’s Pool is within a short walking distance of the commercial area of the community of La Jolla.  You can find grassy park areas a short distance to the north and south.  Several small beaches are nearby as well, including Wipeout Beach to the south and Shell Beach to the north. (more…)

Black’s Beach is a two mile long, sandy strip of beach located at the base of the majestic cliffs that can be up to 300 foot high.  Formally known as Torrey Pines City Beach, it’s jointly owned by the City of San Diego and the State of California.  There is also a glider port atop the cliff that overlooks the beach where hang gliders and even remote control gliders can be seen soaring.

Gaining access to Black’s Beach isn’t easy due to the high cliffs and lack of stairways.  The safest access is from the adjacent beaches to the north and south, although this way may be obstructed by high tides or surf.

The cliffs here are unstable as well, and slides can occur anytime, so it’s always best to stay away from them.  There’s no permanent lifeguard station at this beach either.  There are some on duty mid day from Spring Break through the end of the October. (more…)
