This area was beautiful. The tide pools were easily seen. There were no starfish, but had many other things to. Look at. There weren’t any shells when I went, but it was late afternoon. Wear shoes…Full review by LAF72

A short set of stairs from the park leads to the beach. However before you can get to the beach and tide pools one has to clamber over a bunch of large rocks. It was uneven and sometime slippery. …Full review by wireless_in_CA

The La Jolla Tide Pools have changed since I was there over 20 years ago. The ride pools are not as deep and some of the rocky area has worn away. But it's still worth a visit, love the area.Full review by alicenl236
How do I figure out when low tide is going to be? Where can I look this up?

Formally, there is to be no removal of anything from coastal parks or properties, so no shells, rocks, sea animals (starfish, anemones, etc.). With that being said, I think there are probably small caches of memory-shells in nearly all bedrooms across the country of children who have visited San Diego or Coronado beaches. Sometimes it's also very special to take pictures of all the great shells and make collages or photo cards to share with loved ones.... that's also a very nice way of both maintaining memories and sharing them, while honoring the park policies to the letter. Enjoy the beaches!
