This is one of the best tide pools that I have ever been to in the US. This is part of the Cabrillo Monument Park so to enter you have to pay a $5 fee (per car) which is valid for 7 days. To get to the pool, take the second right turn after the entrance station down a windy road. It is very close to the entrance station (about 0.05 mile) and there is no sign. If you see a large parking lot, you have gone too far. There is a parking lot (FREE) at the bottom of the road where you have to park your car and take a walk down to the tide pools. We saw crabs hiding in the rocks and snails on the rock walls. Check this link for the best date and time to visit the tide pools.
See website below for direction to the park or check out the Google map on the bottom of this blog. The green pointer shows the parking for the tide pools.
