"Park along Sunset Cliffs Blvd. This is a stretch of cliffs for a mile or so - I would recommend walking along it. For a must-see spot for those in a time crunch, aim for this viewpoint https://goo.gl/maps/iKYvsALDeGq9wEFS9. Don't forget to peer down into the numerous sea caves along the way! Some offer tours or guides into these caves, which involves some amount of climbing, hiking, and potentially swimming. I can't attest to how good these tours are, but you can check out an example guided tour in the attached link."
"Sunset Cliffs is one of the best places to watch the sunset in San Diego because it has amazing views. The cliffs give you a clear look at the ocean and the sun setting over it. The colors are beautiful, and the sound of the waves crashing is really peaceful. People love to come here to relax and enjoy the natural beauty. It's a special spot to see the sun go down, and that's why it's so popular. "

"Perfect for a morning stroll or fast paced walk (~3miles / 5K) Start point: Ocean Beach Car Park and turnback at Sunset Cliffs National Park entrance. You’ll see morning yoga, joggers, cyclists and leisurely walkers along these cliffs. If you looks down you’ll also see surfers catching a few waves 🏄🏼‍♂️🌊 and if you’re there at the right time, the most stunning sunset!"
