Iconic with an interesting history. The rocks and non-frontal orientation make this small beach naturally sheltered from the waves, making it ideal for children. In 1931, newspaper magnate and philosopher, Ellen Browning Scripps, donated the construction of a small curving seawall that made the sheltering complete for young children to play on the beach and swim in the calm waters. In the early 1990's, a couple of the seals who hung out in the nearby marine reserves and sanctuaries, notably nearby Seal Rock, started to migrate to the rocks of the Children's Pool. Over the next few years, more came over, came ashore on the beach, and started to use the beach as a safe home for birthing pups. The local residents were concerned that the children no longer had their own beach anymore, as well as possible dangerous interactions with the seals, the males of which can reach 900 lbs. Shenanigans (to say it nicely) followed, including lawsuits between the "homies" (local residents) and the "greenies" (environmentalists), including a controversial 24/7 webcam, a too short rope for roping off, and a mayor who took sides, then had to resign following Me Too related harrassment charges, shortly after some controversial shortcuts taken.

Children's Pool Beach is a small sandy beach area located at 850 Coast Boulevard, at the end of Jenner Street, in La Jolla, California. The Children's Pool earned its name after the construction of a concrete breakwater in 1931.
