Cabrillo Tidepools On Point Loma: San Diego, CA
Remember when I told you about our visit to the La Jolla Tidepools when we were in California in April? Well, while we were still in San Diego, my brother in law told us about some more tidepools in the area that might be worth a visit and he was definitely right. They were called the Cabrillo Tidepools and they are located on Point Loma in San Diego, which was even a little closer to our hotel than the tidepools in La Jolla. Score.
Cabrillo Tidepools On Point Loma: San Diego, CA

In case you are unfamiliar, during periods of low tide, pools form along this shore in rocky depressions and you can see a  myriad of sea creatures in them.
The Cabrillo Tidepools were definitley different than the ones in La Jolla simply because of the fact that there were lots and lots of cliffs there, so we really needed to keep an eye on the kiddos until we were able to make our way down to the bottom of the cliffs. They weren’t like Roadrunner cliffs, but they were steep enough that if you fell off, you would most definitley be injured.
My daughter is traveling to San Diego next month and looking for things to do that are affordable and take advantage of the weather. I just sent her a link to this blog – great timing!
I can;t even tell you how much we loved it there. We don’t have tidepools like that here on the east.
I don’t think I have even seen a real life tidepool! I definitely have to make visiting here a priority.
My kiddos love tide pools. They’re so much fun to explore and find the sea creatures
I would love to have gone and checked out the tide pools the last time we were in San Diego, there just wasn’t enough time!
Defiantly planning on going next time. The kids would have a ball!
