About Children's Pool Beach
Children's Pool Beach is located in San Diego, California, United States. OpenStreetMap lists a lifeguard station at this beach. There are 73 food options within 0.62 miles and drinking water is available on site.
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.
