Friday · land by the coast
The afternoon nonstop lands early evening. Check in at National City and keep dinner nearby rather than adding a late cross-town drive.
Where the coastline gets a little wild
SAN DIEGO · CALIFORNIA
A coastal monument weekend with lighthouse history, bluff-top ocean air and a little tidepool-window magic.
THE LITTLE PITCH
Stay south of downtown, then arrange a car or ride to Point Loma. Cabrillo is the destination; the last-mile transfer is essential and still unpriced.
THREE DAYS, A LITTLE MORE MAGIC
The afternoon nonstop lands early evening. Check in at National City and keep dinner nearby rather than adding a late cross-town drive.
Head to Cabrillo National Monument for the lighthouse, coastal views and tidepools if conditions allow. Check the tide chart and NPS alerts; the tidepool road can close when parking fills.
Leave the hotel with time for airport security and the 10:25 AM return. Confirm your ride to SAN before booking; it is not in the estimate.
