In this episode, the FAQ: How do I best enjoy the Cabrillo Park?

Today’s Destination is Cabrillo National Monument Accessibility Part 2

Today’s Misstep- Don’t forget to stretch like I did.

Travel Advice: Swimming? Watch your valuables.

FAQ: My friends ask me how do I enjoy the Cabrillo Park.

I love this question.

First, you have to plan for it, so bring your National Park Pass and try to visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday, the slow days. Park at the top and see the lighthouse. It’s iconic. Then visit the overlook to the city of San Diego and see the boats go in and out of the channel.

The visitor center is worth seeing, even if you don’t make a purchase. Then hike the bayside trail if you are able, or if not follow the guidance that follows about accessibility.
