Sunset Cliffs is a scenic coastal park located in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego, California. The park spans approximately 68 acres along the Pacific Ocean and offers stunning panoramic views of the coastline and ocean.

Sunset Cliffs is known for its rugged cliffs, sea caves, tide pools, and sandy beaches, making it a popular destination for hiking, surfing, swimming, and fishing. The park features a network of trails that offer a variety of hiking experiences, from easy strolls to challenging hikes along the cliff edge.

The park is named after the breathtaking sunsets that can be seen from the cliffs each evening. Visitors can watch the sun dip below the horizon from one of the many viewpoints along the park's trails, or simply relax on the beach and enjoy the view.

In addition to its natural beauty, Sunset Cliffs is also home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds, marine mammals, and tide pool creatures. Visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment and leave no trace when visiting the park.

My personal recommendation is to go at sunset time. Bring some picnic supplies or grab a burrito and walk along the cliffs as you watch the sunset go down.
