Tips from locals
Popular spot within Cabrillo National Monument to take kids. You'll want to make sure it's low tide before you go.
Check usharbors.com for low tide times for best tide pool experience. Wear snug fit water shoes or tennis shoes that can get wet to navigate the slippery and uneven terrain. Flip flops and bare feet will not work.
Highly recommend to check weather and low tide to enjoy this location. Southern point of San Diego tide pools allow you to discover marine life when the tides are low. Usually closes around 4pm. Once you're done, circle back up the hill to view all of San Diego from the Cabrillo Monument.
Nice to see the tidepool critters and plants. Gorgeous area and the lighthouse is cool too.
