That cove used to be a great spot for kids, divers, fishermen etc. There really is no other place like it along the coastline.

Yea, I really do miss it... especially because I used to use it all the time.

If you don't think that cove is a big deal, it is only because the seals have stunk up and pretty much ruined it.

just thought i would let you guys know that i went down there yesterday (sunday) in the afternoon.

trying to keep my cool i almost did a back flip and started running around screaming YES, YES, YES!!!!!

the only animals on the beach were humans. yes parents and children all over the beach and swimming in the water. there were about 4 seals in the deeper water with the look on there face like what the hell happened?


not that i would want to swim in that water(for obvious reasons) but if people feel like it let them go for it. the seals will go back to seal rock, a more natural habitat for them.


this is what that beach was designed for, let the kids play!!!

but please dredge this area soon.

This battle is far from over...it is for CHILDREN....

Non-swimmers need to realize, don't look at the water and assume its abundant...

This was built for our future...for our children...

FYI the so called Seal activists organized a rally of sorts tonight, at 5pm at the pool. Just in case anyone is interested in trolling for chicks with hairy armpits or voicing your oppinion on why the city council should honor the law and return the pool to the children.

Just like joyjiggin stated, this is not about seals, hell for that matter, if Scripps had left it in a trust to the seals I would support the enviros cause to keep humans out of it. However, the pool was left in a trust for "Children" to use as a play area. This is more about the moral fibers of which this country was created. If a person goes through the legal process to reserve personal property for a particular use, that reservation must be respected.

Not to get to polictical but take Prop 8, I don't care which side you stand on, the people voted and made their voice heard. If a court overrules this decision then what good is your vote on any matter?

I think the Judge and the Federal Court that dismissed the lawsuit sent a very clear message, they will honor a legal binding document regardless of a special interested group....this is democracy as it should be! Viva La Childrens Pool!
