K12 Inc • August 12, 2011Did you know? On any given day, between 50 and 200 harbor seals congregate on the beach. During pupping season (beginning in January) 10 to 20 seal pups are born at Children’s Pool.

Adveturer • July 29, 2013Love the beach, bring water and tennis shoes for the climb. By the cliff side is very calm and quiet, perfect to relax and lie down naked and enjoy the sun. Water is too cold, even in summer days.

Cool • December 14, 2018The South Mission jetty is the best Surf in San Diego County, lefts that work on any tide, with offshore or south winds. Surf will be better and bigger here than other spots in town. Njoy the surf!
