  • The seals need to stay
    By S M, 10/27/09
    Everytime I visit San Diego, I have to go see the seals. They are so peaceful and it's great to watch them lounge around. This means I spend money in La Jolla. I also see lots of other tourists visiting. I have never witnessed the "pro-seal" people harrassing people. I hope this beach is officially turned over to the seals. If people want to go to the beach, there are lots of other places in La Jolla.

  • Going to bring my lawn chair!
    By Jim, 08/15/09
    Loved the seals- couldn't stand the seal lovers

    After listening to a bunch of whinning morons scream at anyone who dared set foot on this PUBLIC BEACH that they couldn't be on the PUBLIC BEACH, I have decided that the next time I go I'm bringing my lawn chair, a good book and plenty of iced tea. I'm going to sit on the beach, read, drink and listen to 'em scream.

  • A great family sight seeing experince
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/11/08
    I love watching the harbor seals and the Californa sea lions. Miss Scripps must be so happy. She was an animal lover. It is a shame that people want the seals and sea lions to get kicked out. Lets protect these innocent animals.

  • Not what it used to be
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/09/07
    Ellen Browning Scripps must be crying. Her dream and gift of a "Children's Pool" has been taken over by a group of smelly sealions that don't belong there. Gone are the days when Grandparents could safely take their charges to a the only safe pool in La Jolla and enjoy the day with them. It's a shame that the children of ...

  • Tips from a San Diego native
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/22/07
    When visiting the Children's Pool Beach in La Jolla don't be fooled by the environmental activist groups that set up camp at the top of the stairs leading down to the beach. These activists have official looking signs that fool most tourists into believing that the beach is off limits to humans; not true. I have been swimming with the ...

  • An excellent tourist location
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/08/07
    The Children's Pool beach area is a great place for a family to spend a relaxing day. Things to do include seeing the seals (obviously), having a picnic at one of the nearby parks, and going to the beach. It's a fun way to spend the day while also learning something useful.

  • One of my favorite places in San Diego
    By شانون, 09/07/07
    This is a cheap--if not free--day out in beautiful San Diego. It is the jewel of San Diego County's coastline. The "Children's Pool" is just one of the little coves in the area, and the seals are just one attraction. At low tide you can find all kinds of interesting creatures in the tide pools. It is, in general, a magical place. I recommend to all.

  • A Free Afternoon
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/05/06
    Many of us who have travelled in Coastal communities have become used to sea lions and their shananagans. However, the pristine beach lined with pacific seals, rarely seen seals, lounging around as the tide hits the sea wall, well, that's priceless. Really, it is, it's all free! You can explore the cliffs of La Jolla and walk down onto ...

  • Children's pool?
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/20/06
    I am completely lost as to why it is called the children's pool. I am unable to take my toddler son there because it is over run by seals and roped off to visitors. If the children can't use it, then why is it the "children's pool?" PETA is always worried about the different animals, yet they can't rally & support their own species. Why does it seem like priorities are backwards?
