Bayside Trail at Cabrillo National Monument offers a breathtaking journey through history and natural beauty. This 2.5-mile round trip trail gently descends 300 feet from the monument, winding along the rugged Point Loma peninsula, and offering panoramic views of the San Diego Bay, Pacific Ocean, and the city skyline. It's a serene escape where visitors can immerse themselves in coastal sage scrub, observe native wildlife, and enjoy a peaceful retreat from the urban hustle.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as the trail can be warm and offers limited shade.
- Check the weather before you go; fog can sometimes limit visibility along the trail.
