Children's Pool Beach (also known as Casa Beach) is a small sandy beach in La Jolla, a community of San Diego, California.
The Children's Pool earned its name after the construction of a concrete breakwater in 1931. The structure was gifted to the community of La Jolla by local philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps, who paid for the construction of a breakwater project in order to create a place where children could play and swim that would be protected from waves. The gift was confirmed by an act, signed by California Governor James Rolph, Jr. in 1931.[1]
The Children's Pool has become the subject of a debate related to a growing colony of harbor seals which has inhabited the beach since the mid-1990s.[2]
