THE LITTLE PITCH

A coastal monument weekend with lighthouse history, bluff-top ocean air and a little tidepool-window magic.

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

A weekend to remember.

THE ROUGH DRAFT
01—03
01

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.

02

Saturday · Point Loma

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.

03

Sunday · back north

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.

WHY THIS WEEKEND?

A good season to go.

A November outdoor/history visit can work well, but check hours, tide charts, parking alerts and the tidepool road before you go.
