Tide Beach Park (Table Tops tide pools)
Solana Beach, CA
Free; free street parking only
By Simir Shah
Public stairs at Solana Vista and Pacific lead to a big reef known as the Table Tops, with tide pools at the northern end. There are showers but no restrooms, and the city notes leashed dogs are allowed north of the stairs. Check a tide chart first, because the pools only show at low tide.
