Hot air balloon and Torrey Pines Golf Course over the cliffs of Black's Beach as the first day of 2021 comes to an end.

As its name suggests, the Children’s Pool was originally constructed to serve as a protected swimming area for young children. The sea wall that encircles the beach stops rough surf from entering the area, making it easy to wade in and out of the water. In recent years it has been overtaken by the area’s seals and sea lions (much to the chagrin of many locals)! Despite the presence of the sea lions, Children’s Pool is a beautiful spot to take in the scenery. This was taken just as the sun was rising with winter storms pounding the sea wall.

Some big sets today at La Jolla Shores with swells past the end of the pier.
