This used to be a great place to venture out and snorkel- a privately built breakwater for kids to enjoy the ocean somewhat safely.But thanks to all knowing government and animal rights people it has been allowed to become a habitat for sea lions and seals.The place reeks now(terrible smell) and will eventually attract white sharks..who will do what they do.I hope I am wrong.
mrf111stick - you are wrong. The cove area has always been a haul-out. While it is a shame that people don't get to play on the beach as much (Federal Law protects pinipeds and other marine mammals from harassment or 'molestation' = disturbing their space) whenever they aren't packed in on the beach - people can still go there. I surf the area quite a bit. From what I've seen - the only thing that's changed is that Federal law is being enforced more. And you'd NEVER get that structure built today - coastal commission tends look down on such structures. If you want safe beach access for snorkeling or kids - S. end of La Jolla shores is a better option.

I remember having to jump off that when I went through lifeguard school back in the early 70s.
Nice place x)
Damn I miss running across this trying to beat the waves as a teen
What better than watching seals getting worked haha

Quitados. Dos bichos
dalmn to bad there were no people on the kids beach. That would have been sweet to see people get smashed by those waves
Doesn't look like much of a pool...
