　　Less than 5 miles south of Coronado Municipal Beach, Silver Strand State Beach offers space from the crowds of the main city beaches. The strand’s long, narrow sand spit connects back to the mainland past Imperial Beach, though people still call this ‘Coronado Island.’

Children's Pool

　　Built in the 1930s behind a wave-cutting seawall, La Jolla’s Children’s Pool was created as a family beach but has since been invaded by herds of seals and sea lions. Tourists come in droves to see them larking around, swimming, fighting and mating, viewed from the plaza above the cove....

San Diego Museum of Us
