Shell Beach, a petite marvel, offers abundant delights for exploration. Ideal at low tide, Shell Beach unveils a small sliver of sun-soaked sands and an array of enticing tidepools. Unearth treasures like sea shells and glass, or bask in the beauty.

Located at the south end of Scripps Park, Shell Beach is accessible via a long, historic staircase down to the shoreline. Rocks are slippery, so take care to watch your step as you take it all in.

A lifeguard is only occasionally present. Parking is available on the street above. Shell Beach does not have bathrooms.
