Green-painted wood beach huts perch above the ocean and are a great place to relax and enjoy the view. They have been the site of many marriage proposals, and the park itself is also a popular spot for weddings. Free “Concerts by the Sea” are held here on summer Sundays.

●Children’s Pool
850 Coast Blvd., at the end of Jenner St. at south end of park across from the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Also known as Casa Beach, this idyllic small cove has a breakwater and attracts both Harbor Seals and California Sea Lions. They gather on the sand, both delighting and distressing. Locals decided to boot the seals off the beach so the kids could reclaim it, but the seals are still there. Pupping season occurs mid-December through mid- May.
