Added by Last Adventurer

This adventure is closed to the public. Please be respectful and do not head out on this adventure.

From the park entrance, follow the park road down to the tide pools parking area. From the parking area, follow the trail down to the cliffs, and head north. If it is high tide, this route will be inaccessible, so be sure that you are visiting this area at low tide. Follow the cliff as it wraps around toward the East, and then across a beach to the cave entrance. The entrance is a narrow slit in the sandstone rock. From there, head into the cave and enjoy the solitude and serenity present inside.

Went out on a bit of a stormy day but we lucked out and only hit a slight drizzle walking in. There were still a lot of people in the tide pools but only a handful in the cave itself. Still it was beautiful. The only thing is we had to trek it across a field of sea kelp on the last inlet bring shoes you don't mind mucking up

If you time it right, with a low tide in the evening, this can be a great place for amazing downtown SD views

Explore Cabrillo National Monument

Cabrillo National Monument is named after Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the first European explorer to reach America's Wet Coast.

Activities in the park include hiking: the Bayside Trail offers 2 miles of gorgeous coastal trail with views of San Diego, and the Coastal Tide Pool Trail provides incred...

Bayside Trail

The Bayside Trail features beautiful spring wild flowers and is accessible year-round. The trail is wide with a few rest stops and benches along the way. The trail is breezy, much cooler than many trails inland, featuring ocean views throughout the duration. This monument commemorates the landing of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542. The monument includes a statue...

Point Loma Tide Pools

Begin by making your way towards the Point Loma Naval Base. Continue along that road as far as it goes and you will come to the Cabrillo National Monument. Upon entering the park you will have to pay a fee to get down to the tide pools. It is $5 per car or $3 per person if you choose to walk in. However, the road down to the tide pools is rather steep and long so I suggest spending the extra tw...

Coronado Central Beach

Coronado Central Beach in San Diego is a 1.5-mile-long, wide sandy beach set against the backdrop of the iconic Hotel del Coronado. It’s popular for swimming, surfing, sunbathing, and beachcombing. The flat terrain is ideal for skimboarding and walking, attracting families who often spend the entire day enjoying the beach - toting umbrellas, towels, and picnic coolers. The beach runs parallel ...

Surf at Sunset Cliffs

This is a fun, soft, A-frame point break with a reef bottom and kelp beds a little deeper than the lineup to keep the waves clean. Breaks right and a left. Works even when there's a little bit of wind, but not a lot. It's best on a 4-6 foot swell and only go on a mid to low tide. This is the go to spot when the rest of south county is maxed out (7-8 feet). The most easily accessible break...

Coronado Beach
