It depends how you want to enjoy this beach. If you want a nice view, peaceful day, and maybe a nice SUP session, then this a great place to do that. If you're looking for your kids to run around, be so careful with the abalone shells. We had a mishap that resulted in a severed ligament and an emergency surgery. Be safe! read more

I came here with my oldest son who is 1 1/2 for a little change of scenery with hopes of being somewhere that I felt safe to be on my own with him near water and this was the absolute perfect spot. We came on a Monday morning and easily found street parking. Walking to the beach was easy as there are sidewalks and pathways in multiple spots that head right to the water. We got to the beach and I was happy to see that there weren't too many people there and the people who were, were families with their kids as well. I felt safe as a mom on my own here and I felt safe being here during COVID as everyone was able to be spaced out and safe. The beach is fairly small so it was nice that it wasn't packed. It also meant it was fairly quiet which was peaceful. The water in this area is very calm which makes me happy and I didn't have to worry as much about my son being at the shore. I was with him at all times but sometimes it only takes one wave to wipe you out and it can be quick so to be somewhere with calm water and a child under 2 is comforting. This is a very residential area and there are houses right on the beach so please be respectful!!! I did not see any restrooms in the area so if you are with a little who can't hold it or won't go in the water, I would think twice about this specific spot. To eat you would need to fully leave the beach and find a spot in Point Loma or pack a lunch. Overall, this is the perfect place for my family. I have 2 under 2 and would feel comfortable being here as the 4 of us and I feel comfortable being here on my own with my son. I look forward to another trip here. read more

Kellogg's Beach - Walking along the shoreline - Beaches Near Me - San Diego, California

Can't believe I've lived in SD my whole life and never knew about this beach. Cute (small) beach on the bay. I made the mistake of going on Labor Day weekend but still really enjoyed my time! Nice sand area to lay out, calm waters to float in. Beautiful view!! Great for small kiddos who aren't ready for the beach waves yet. read more

Great little beach! I love how empty it is during winter months and how the locals all bring their dogs and let them off leash. The vibes here are always friendly and kind! One of my favorite hidden gems in SD. read more

Kellogg's Beach - King tides - Beaches Near Me - San Diego, California

I am revising this because I can see locals are pissed things are getting crowded down here. What is worse? The derelicts of Ocean Beach have discovered it. Which means drunks, beer bottles on the sand, nasty chicks, loose dogs, dog poop and idiots galore. Yes it is scenic but parking is limited. Meter carts come around and ticket your car but they are mainly after scofflaws from the nearby sub base. Both my kids grew up playing and swimming down there. The water is usually a degree or two warmer than the ocean and waves gently lap at the shore. But be warned--no public restrooms! It is always a treat when a big cruise ship or Navy Aircraft Carrier goes sailing right by and the rocks and rip-rap are a discovery paradise with crabs, mussels, and the occasional octopus! Those rocks keep the kids entertained for hours and we always put back gently whatever creatures he was barely able to catch. But they can be slippery! Being that this is Point Loma, some locals are cool. But many nearby residents and property owners feel a desperate sense of entitlement to use this beach as their private dog run. There are pieces of feces around and all of a sudden loose dogs will appear out of nowhere---unleashed and running a muck. Parents of young children--BEWARE! These people pay a lot of taxes to live down here and they feel above the law--these no-clue dog owners are the worse. Now I have heard that Animal Control is cracking down due to many complaints about unleashed dogs & I say it's about time! Bring your loose dog down & even if you are rich, it's citation time. Also, don't expect the Harbor Police to help you out over here. Their time is better spent at the Airport and they tell you when you call for assistance, that they are always "under-staffed." They are pretty much useless most of the time. Keep that in mind, if you plan a day at the beach. The Harbor Police do not consider this area a high enforcement priority. You are on your own down here. All together I would ask that Yelpers not invite themselves down here if they plan to drink, cavort with loose dogs (canine or otherwise) or cause problems. Hello OB paddle-boarders: NO DRINKING BOOZE ON THE BEACH! Hello stripper from OB with big dog and rich residents: LEASH LAWS! It is a family environment and the locals and regulars are particularly territorial. If you are NOT an idiot and wish to check it out, come on down. It's really a wonderful and very relaxing place to unwind! Providing you are cool. read more

My fav place to escape for a little while. A small isolated beach mostly known to only locals. I've seen a yoga class taught on standup paddle boards once. During summer time lots of families bring their kids to play. I sometimes come here to just breathe and be close to the water. I bring a picnic to enjoy too. It's a nice hidden treasure. read more

Don't go here. You'll hate it. No but seriously, we love this place and it's hard not wanting to keep it to ourselves. Kellogg's is by far a local PL spot. It's great for families: lots of room, wide beach front, and mellow waves make it perfect for little ones to splash around. You'll love watching sail boats come and go as you relax with a good book and drink in hand (non-alcoholic unless you're risky). Parking can be tricky, so the earlier you get there the better. read more

Gross. Dirty, loud, lots of dog poop, illegal to launch even a kayak or set up a table.. and all the run-off from rain/sewage is also dumped on the beach and in the water. What a waste of time. Avoid this trash heap like the plague, go to Mission Bay. read more

Beautiful place for a walk, especially at sunrise or sunset - I don't come here often enough, but whenever I do, I think - wow, this is gorgeous! Amazing views of the sailboats, downtown, Shelter Island, and Point Loma. Lots of teenagers taking a romantic walk w/ their special someone, older couples, people walking their dogs, and families w/ kids. I was with 2 kids and a puppy who were running on the beach, slipping in the mud, fetching balls in the water (the kids, not the puppy - he didn't want to get more than his paws wet). This has got to be one of the top 10 beautiful, quintessential San Diego spots. read more

This is my family go to beach. We have a toddlers that is very active and this beach is perfect for her. There aren't huge waves or crazy amounts of people.

Thanks to the reviews we decided to go to Kellogg's Beach and so glad we did!!! We have two boys ages 6 & 3 and they absolutely LOVED it!!! Great beach with minimal crowd!! We enjoyed our space but also the other children running around :) plenty of sand to share! Boys had a great time building things in the sand and wading in the water without getting pummeled by waves. Great view for awesome pictures too!! Only downfall, no bathrooms... Good thing we have boys :) read more

It's a very nice family beach if you're looking for something of that sort. I would describe this beach as being much calmer than many other beaches, and most certainly less crowded. Keep in mind that this is a BAY and not the ocean (well technically still the ocean) so the waves are essentially non-existent. It's very good for paddle boarding and quiet relaxation but do understand that the place can get somewhat crowded during holidays and extra-extra nice days. read more

Used to be a nice beach, over the years many new residents have come with the LA and SF attitude.They let their dogs crap all over the beach and never clean up after their dogs .I beleive in June 1st .Signs will go up NO DOGS read more

Please, if you do not live in point loma and need to use this beach, please be mindful of our environment. This was a quiet local beach until sites websites like this were created. - Don't setup camp on the main path to the beach. - Don't play ball/frisbee, etc where there are other people (go to another beach if you need to). - Many long time local people use this beach and appreciate the serenity. Please be respectful - if you feel you must scream and yell (normal behavior at a beach), please go somewhere else. - This is a day beach. Please do not set up camp like you are staying 2 days (tents, tables, bbq's etc. This is not mission bay. - Please use legal parking spots. Parking on the curved corner is not a parking spot - Do not bring your ski boat. Again go to Mission bay if you need to do this. read more

Well Gayle's review would beat anything I can write and is pretty much spot on, it is a dog beach and I bring my GSD down here to play in the mild surf. I do pick up after my dog and I've never seen her dump in the water. Occasionally some do and to the owners credit once they do it's very hard to recover. Even without dogs it's not a good swimming beach, much of the pollutants are fuel hydrocarbons from the boats and recreational water craft. It won't kill you to jump in but don't swallow the water. read more

This beach sucks. The sand is too hard and rocky and water is oily from all the boats, it's gross!

It's pretty but small and crowded. Terrible for swimming. Sand is course. Oil in the water from boats. Parking is nearly impossible. Much better beaches in San Diego! read more

I looked it up, and technically, the fish that you catch on this section of the bay are not guppies, but considered wrigglers or fry. However, Josie calls them guppies so I'm going to stick with that. A peaceful little private spot on the Point Loma side of the bay is known by locals as Kellogg's beach. It's located at the end of McCall and Lawrence streets. What is nice about it isn't crowded and the water is warmer than a lot of other bay spots. The sand is tightly packed, so don't expect to build any sand castles. You should, however, bring a fish net, since there are schools and schools of tiny fish. This will keep you and your kids occupied for hours! read more

Small, crowded, no parking, lots of dog poop. If you're looking for a waveless beach, the Mission Bay beaches are much better.

My dog loves to swim, but we come when there are no children, and only one or two other dogs. And of course I bring a bag in case she poops, but so far she only poops in her home yard. I saw a stingray recently so I'm taking her to a different beach now. Great beach for young children if you're careful about stingrays read more

Seriously, this is not a good beach. The sand...well, it is really dirt with some rocks mixed in. It is very small, and usually crowded. And when the tide is high, most of the beach is underwater. Dogs must be on a leash, no fishing, and no landing any type of craft (boat, etc) is allowed. read more

Would like to keep this place unknown but I'm a sharer. Walk down the trail with your dog from SDYC and you stumble upon this cool little beach with low congestion. Great for swimming as it ties to the bay and not the swell/current on the other side of the point. Good Mission Bay alternative for paddle boarding. read more
