By Simir Shah
A city beach at 3720 Stephen M. White Dr with a roped-off swim area, a fishing pier, and tide pools in the Point Fermin Marine Life Refuge, all a walk from the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. Tide pools are a look-don't-take refuge: leave animals and shells where they are. Lifeguards run summer junior lifeguard programs for ages 9–17.
