Dike Rock

Rocky area San Diego, California, United States

What to expect

Dike Rock is a great spot for tide pooling, located just north of Scripps Pier in San Diego, California. It's a sandy beach with tide pools, perfect for families to explore and discover marine life. The area is known for its diverse sea life, including juvenile fish, blind gobies, and different shrimp. The Birch Aquarium offers guided tours of the tide pools, which is a great way to learn about the marine ecosystem. The best time to visit is during low tide, when the tide pools are exposed and the sea life is more visible. Dike Rock is a less crowded beach area, making it an ideal spot for families to spend a day together
