Sunset Cliffs Natural Park
is a 68-acre city park adjacent to the Pacific Ocean on the western
edge of Point Loma. It includes the entire strip of land immediately
adjacent to the ocean, between the water and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard,
as well as a larger area of undeveloped park and nature preserve on
the south side of the area. It was dedicated in 1983. This coastal strip
is connected to the 640-acre Point Loma Reserve. The park includes carved
coastal bluffs, arches and sea caves.
From the cliffs, the California Gray Whale might be seen migrating
annually from the Bering Sea to Baja California. (The two RV Gypsies
did not see any whales) The park is a popular place to view the sunset,
hence the name. Unfortunately, the two RV Gypsies were unable to stay
here long enough to see a sunset.
The cliff side trails are popular for walking and for watching the
sunset, but are undeveloped and can be dangerous. Falls from the cliffs
have resulted in deaths and injuries.
NOTE: Right after being here, the two RV Gypsies heard on the television
news that a 53 year-old lady fell from this cliff but she was rescued
and is okay. |

Although the two RV Gypsies enjoyed this
beautiful area, they were under the impression that it was a much bigger
area, so in that respect, they were a bit disappointed, but even so,
they were very glad that they got to immerse their eyes on such a beautiful
piece of nature. |

Below: A big piece of a wall
previously fell and now rests below the cliffs. Karen Duquette climbed
up a small dirt hill away from the cliffs to check out the view. |

Below; The main street of the area is Sunset
Cliffs Boulevard. The neighborhood is almost entirely residential, with
curved contour-following streets and custom homes. The two RV Gypsies
liked the painted wall that surrounds the house shown below. |
