Can anyone give me exact directions on how to get to the Jackson Harbor wall? I'd like to check out what kind of bouldering it has to offer before it gets too cold. I'd most likely come in on 90 or take the train in. I've looked on google, but haven't come up with a whole lot of results. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice you can give me.

Here's a google map.
The wall is along the little cul-de-sac north of La Rabida Children's Hospital, marked on the map with a red 'A'.
Hope this helps!

Here's a link to a guidebook for the harbor wall. It's a bit old--some of the graffiti has changed--but it'll get you started.
Not as many people climb there anymore, so I'd recommend bringing a cheap broom to sweep away broken glass.

Definitely agree about watching out for the broken glass and a fair amount of chicken bones. It has a great view though. Some sections at the base are flat while others are a great simulation for the spine breaking talus fields @ DL so bring a crash pad.

If the wind is blowing, riding your bike with a crash pad on your bike will give you five times the workout--I know from experience.
Also, if it's windy be careful--crash pads can easily blow into the water. Make sure you put something on one corner.
And enjoy the monos...

Does anyone still climb here, do you actually get ticketed?
