As a kid my parents would take me and my brother to this beach every other weekend. This has to be one of the best childhood memories. The lagoon feeds right into the ocean underneath a bridge. My brother and I would look for crabs underneath the rocks in the lagoon. We would have competitions to catch the biggest crab. Fun times and a amazing beach to visit if you are ever in San Diego.
