around the cove and the children's pool we're going to try their clam chowder out first threw the oyster crackers on there oh yeah i added some legit clam chowder top quality here in san diego now i've been to boston many of the time i've had clown tower at mom and pop places the union oyster house the very first restaurant in the united states i believe or the oldest restaurant in the united states something like that this is actually a really good clam chowder i dig it excuse the shadows this is the only seed i can find the sun is blaring down around two o'clock in the afternoon [Music] next up is the calamari a la carte now it looks like a calamari pancake in a way it really looks good so we're gonna dig into this i need to throw a little bit of lemon on it first all right let's try it out we're gonna dip it into the salsa that they provide that is some tasty and really good calamari [Music] they basically cut it up like steak pieces and just give you a regular salsa with the lemon and that's all you need they have more of an extensive menu if you're looking for sandwiches a seafood meal and they also sell the fish there at the counter so yeah check it out el pescador fish market so i just absolutely smashed the calamari a la carte and the white clam chowder both fantastic dishes pretty reasonable prices i'm finishing off my harlem beer japanese lager and after that

people are able to hang out down there by the water [Music] this right here is the children's pool so when you guys are over here at the children's pool just make sure you're not touching the seals or playing with the seals they don't mess around over here and it kind of stinks too at times when the seals are all bunched up together a lot of proposals go on around here i don't know how the guy takes out the ring and doesn't drop it i'm sure it's happened before because look at that crazy but many people do it around here cruising down we're gonna hit up the next place after the children's pool so it is a really beautiful walk along the sidewalk around here and it leads you along from the children's pool all the way to the park where you hit la jolla cove [Music] so in the past this is the park that i take my friends that visited from the east coast and have never seen the pacific ocean this is where i took them to see the pacific ocean for the first time it's way bigger than the

here but you can walk over and there's an actual cave under this store look at joel look at joel oh no the cage store is like the number one tourist trapped in the white if you want to do it i don't think it's a bad idea but it's definitely a tourist trap because i think it's i don't know how much it is but it's 10 15 bucks yeah and you walk down staircase when actually the best part is where we're going right now and it's free the adventures with joel continues jj this is one of the little hidden gems here and it's just right behind the cave store and it's free which you know me i love food and it's awesome but you're between like the homes that are 10 million dollars and then a free view so look at those kayaks down there and guess what i'm taking out my mask because there's nobody here kayaking is actually really fun i bought a kayak one time and then i found out that it was a lot of hassle to drive it back and forth from my home to here and you can just rent them so i always recommend now i'm just running because you only do it like at the most four times a year how much does it cost to rent a kayak things like 20 bucks nice and no you can when it's low tie now but when it's high time you can actually go into the caves oh nice it's awesome it's really cool this is a beautiful area guys can't you believe that i've covered all of this from all the way south imperial
