Day 3 Less than a one-hour drive from Carlsbad, the nearby beach town of La Jolla is home to a resident population of wild seals and sea lions, one of our kids’ must-sees in San Diego. We were greeted by a plentiful, playful pod at Children’s Pool at Casa Beach . Though originally created for kids to swim as the name implies, it was quickly taken over by area seals and sea lions, which can now be observed at a respectable distance. Next, we stopped in at Birch Aquarium, where the kids got in free, a small attraction offering special opportunities to understand sea creatures, including public feedings of their famous leopard sharks and sea turtles and a dive show in the two-story kelp forest. In addition to hands-on fun at the outdoor tide pool, the panoramic ocean views are breathtaking.
LA JOLLA SHORES OFFERS HOURS OF SOCAL BEACHY FUN, WHILE A MEAL AT DUKE’S SERVES UP A SLICE OF HAWAII.
A slice of Hawaii in SoCal, lunch at Duke’s in downtown La Jolla overlooks the sparkling sea and features flavorful fare like fish tacos, Korean sticky ribs, seared ahi bowls, fish and chips and the famous (definitely shareable!) Hula Pie, towering macadamia nut ice cream on a chocolate cookie crust, topped with hot fudge, whipped cream and toasted macadamia nuts. We spent a lazy afternoon at La Jolla Shores , a popular public beach, where the ocean was decidedly too frigid for the adults but didn’t deter the kids from frolicking in the surf for hours. Back in Carlsbad, we enjoyed dinner al fresco at Tinleaf Fresh Kitchen , a delicious fast-food alternative with creative salad, sandwich and soup combinations, including the spicy cubano sandwich and mediterranean salad with hearts of palm, chickpeas and candied pistachios.
