The New Children’s Pool Plaza

Children’s Pool Beach is a sandy beach area located at 850 Coast Boulevard, at the end of Jenner Street, in La Jolla, California. The Children’s Pool earned its name after the construction of a concrete breakwater in 1931. The Children’s Pool was created when La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps funded the construction of the sea wall that surrounds the beach. She gifted the wall and the beach it subsequently created to the City in 1931.
