To protect both wildlife and the hundreds of thousands of people who visit the sea lion pupping at Point La Jolla, the California Coastal Commission recommends closing the area year-round.
When push came to shove, the Coastal Commission decided that we are the visitors. Boomer Beach and Point La Jolla bluffs belong to the animals.During last year’s pupping season when the area was closed like it is now, there were no reports of negative interactions between people and wildlife, according to the Coastal Commission. Once it reopened it was a much different story.
If San Diego City Council approves the year-round closure, visitors would have the same limited access to the area between the Children's Pool and La Jolla Cove. There would be additional signage and park rangers monitoring the area and the steps to Boomer Beach would be permanently closed. La Jolla is a destination for tourists and locals alike. The experience may change, but is it enough to turn people away?
