Highlight of what’s happening:

[Trail]
The trail is a nice, easy stroll along the coastline on the south end of Ocean Beach / North end of Point Loma. The views from the bluffs are expansive and a hot spot to watch the sunset!
PRO TIP: As with any bluffs in San Diego, be mindful of getting too close the edge - they can be a little crumbly and unstable.
