La Jolla is teeming with tidepools; there is a great spread of pools at the base of the cliffs just to the north of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography pier. See anemones, scuttling hermit crabs, and glistening mussels. Check local tide tables-minus tides are best. Pair your tidepool jaunt with a breakfast burrito at Snackropolis. Perched on a bluff above the pier, the Scripps grill is hidden from the public eye, but it is open to everyone and serves up a mouthwatering breakfast burrito and a great Pacific view. The grill is open Monday through Friday, making it the perfect adjunct to a less-crowded weekday visit.
