Where to forage sea urchins & mussels in San Diego? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I would be careful about where you harvest. Back in the 80's, there were signs warning not to eat the mussels. I don't think the water has gotten any cleaner, and San Diego is often subject to the pollutants of Tijuana, so just be cautious.

Thanks for the suggestions, how about Sunset Cliff or Swami beach?
