Brooks And Aztechan’s San Diego guidebook
Sightseeing
One of the prettiest views in the world and it's right around the corner. The beach is great and you can park at the State Park entrance just down the road, and walk into the beach.
Personally we just walk to the beach as it's 0.7 miles away.

Great beach spots
When we go to the beach to spend a few hours swimming, sitting in the sun or catching a sunset, this is our favorite place to go.

Best spot to sit, have a burrito from Roberto's (around the corner), and watch the sunset. It's in a neighborhood so not as much touristy traffic and it's an incredible place to enjoy an evening at sunset or an afternoon at the beach.

You wouldn't know it unless you know it. They make insanely good ice cream in a place that was a dry cleaner - go figure. They have a new list every day and when its gone, it's gone.
