Childrens Pool Beach, Protected beach in La Jolla, United States
The Children's Pool features a curved concrete seawall that creates a sheltered swimming area along the Pacific coast of Southern California.
Local philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps funded the construction of the protective breakwater in 1931 to establish a safe swimming space for children.
The beach has transformed from a swimming area to a natural habitat where visitors can observe harbor seals resting and raising their pups.
Access to the beach remains restricted from December 15 through May 15 during the harbor seal pupping season to protect the marine mammals.
The concrete breakwater structure creates different water conditions on each side, with calm waters inside and strong waves crashing outside.
