HIGHLIGHTS

Another favorite of Biology students, Dike Rock Tide Pools is a rocky area just to the north of Scripps Pier in La Jolla. The name of this beach refers to a volcanic bench of rock that has extruded through a large gap in the sedimentary rocks and runs perpendicular to the beach.

To reach Dike Rock Tide Pool, you must walk a ways along the sandy beach from La Jolla Shores, and then walk over a rocky area until you reach the dike, which is located on a slight point. The best tide pools are over the dike to the north side. Here you may have a good chance of spotting a star fish or an octopus on a good minus tide.

Dike Rock Tide Pool is located on UCSD property and is part of the La Jolla Underwater Park marine reserve.
