Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Point Loma Tide Pools adventure.
Discover the enchanting Point Loma Tide Pools, a marine wonderland. Â
The Point Loma Tide Pools found at the Cabrillo National Monument are found at the tip of the Point Loma peninsula that guards the San Diego Bay. Whether you are looking for an educational experience or simply want to crawl around with the wildlife hiding in the nooks and crannies of these extensive tide pools, there is something for everyone at this scenic point. It is best to visit in the Spring or Fall seasons as this is when low-tides and the parks operating hours overlap giving you the best experience possible.
The prime time to visit the Point Loma Tide Pools is during late fall and winter, when low tides reveal the pools' hidden wonders during daylight hours. Summer visitors may find the tidepools submerged, as low tides occur at night. Plan your visit around the tide schedules for an optimal experience.
