Children's Pool Beach

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Children's Pool Beach during your trip to La Jolla?

As the sun goes down in La Jolla, the water flows into the rocky areas, covering up most of the tide pools. When photographing this scenery, a person walked on the tide pools, preparing to go into the water and surf. One of the most interesting things that happened in this image is the way the river pours into the tide pools and then recedes back, repeating this over and over again, while people tend to walk over them, either to photograph or to swim.
