Point Loma Tide Pools

Point Loma in San Diego, CA is home to the Cabrillo National Monument, a popular destination for over 350,000 visitors each year. The highlight of the park is the rocky intertidal area, also known as the tidepools, which offer a unique and protected ecosystem. Visitors can explore the tidepools during low tides, typically in the fall and winter months, and are advised to come prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear for safety. The park also requires Tidepool Permits for groups of ten or more to ensure the preservation of this delicate environment.

With its stunning rocky coastline and diverse marine life, Point Loma's tidepools provide a fascinating natural wonderland for visitors. The park emphasizes the importance of protecting this distinct ecosystem and encourages responsible exploration. Visitors can enjoy a short walk and scramble down to the tidepools from the lower area of the park, but are advised against walking down Cabrillo Road for safety reasons. The park's temporary road closures help maintain appropriate social distancing and reduce the impact on the fragile ecosystem, ensuring a more pleasant experience for all.
