Make sure it is a clear day-you can see quite a long way. The monument itself is only a part of the park; be sure to see the lighthouse and grounds, and drive down to the tidepool area. Walking paths are 'friendly', but do require some effort.

Is a National Park. You drive through Point Loma Naval Base to access. $10 to enter per car but good for a week. Beautiful views to East and West and South. Good walking trails. Many photo opportunities.

I have been to SD many times and never seen this. You definitely should rent a car and go over there. The views of San Diego and the Ocean are AHHHHHMAAZING. The park is lovely and driving down to the cliffs park is so peaceful.

Although it's out of the way I recommend a visit here. You get to read up on some local history at the base of the statue and you also have a view of the bay like none other from land.

I'd been to San Diego 4 or so times, yet never to Cabrillo. Very nice views, great exhibits/museum, and wonderful tide pool exploration opportunities.
