Good place to capture some good scenic pictures of the ocean and coastline, without getting a lot of people or developed land in your pictures. Gets crowded on warmer nights, but still a nice relaxing place. You will find lots of local surfers and runners too

The views from Sunset Cliffs are one of a kind, The stairs down the cliffs were fun to watch surfers manuver with surfboards. Even i made it down the stairs.

This is a perfect place to watch the sunset. We almost missed the sunset but I got the chance to get some great pictures. A beautiful place to visit, I will go again. Next time maybe not with the kiddies, this view can be very romantic if shared with your significant other.

We were pleased with the access to the beach plus the parking is free from what we experienced. Whether just sitting in your car admiring the scenery, or taking a short walk, it is a very enjoyable experience. We brought some snacks to enjoy in the car as we looked out over the views. Nice and relaxing and just taking... More

Great views on the ocean If you like something more wild than the beaches with concrete this is a great spot. Nice waves and surfers. Nice light at the sunset. We did very nice photos. A lot of locals. Walk down the Hill street to come. This is fantastic.

Great for a date night. Just go out and watch the sunset. Make sure to take a towel to sit on and a light jacket. Get there early for free parking.

I wasn't expecting much as the day was overcast and the drive up was a bit right turn, left turn aggravating but the view, overcast weather or not was amazing! The sun broke through and it is something that an East Coast girl was impressed by. The arches carved in the stone and the flowers and different elevations were beautiful.... More

Great for watching sunsets, obviously, if the weather does not close in as it often seems to do in San Diego. In the 5 nights there...NO SUNSET!!!
