As the name promises, this 68-acre oceanfront park on Point Loma’s western edge delivers the most dramatic sunsets in San Diego — golden light spilling over sculpted sandstone cliffs, sea caves and crashing surf.
The park’s cliff-top trails wind past native coastal sage scrub with nonstop Pacific views. Below, adventurous surfers ride famous breaks like Luscomb’s Point, while pelicans and dolphins cruise the shoreline. It’s a favorite spot for proposals, wedding photos and quiet evening picnics.
It is ideal for couples, photographers and sunset chasers of all ages: no ticket needed, just show up before golden hour. Practical tip: stay on marked trails and keep a safe distance from the cliff edge — the sandstone is fragile — and bring a light jacket, because the ocean breeze picks up after sundown.
