in La Jolla, CA 92037about Shell Beach:
An intimate stretch of sand nestled between the Children's Pool and Boomer Beach, just south of the La Jolla Cove, Shell Beach is an ideal spot for tidepooling, shell hunting, and wading for small children. Good swimmers can enjoy snorkeling if they can brave getting through the many reefs and into deeper waters.
The reef comes all the way up to the shoreline, making it less desirable for most swimmers, and board sports are not allowed. But the seals like the privacy it affords, and you'll get a chance to watch them frolicking in the water and lounging on the rocks not 30 feet from shore.
While Shell Beach attracts its fair share of tourists, it is usually far less crowded than the nearby La Jolla Cove.

Lifeguards are on duty, but the nearest restrooms and showers are about a quarter mile away at the Children's Pool. Plan accordingly.
