San Diego Skyline Viewpoint
Scenic spot
👍👍 If you're looking for that postcard photo of San Diego then this is the spot! Usually best around sunrise and/or sunset! I prefer sunrise because it's pretty quiet and the bay is pretty calm for the building reflections to show!

👍👍 Beautiful place to visit, if in San Diego! Parking can be difficult if you are visiting near sunset. Follow the stairs down and walk along the water. So much to see. I recommend checking this place out!!

🫤 I went during low tide, but it still wasn't low enough. This is a tiny strip of beach that is limited accessible. Forget walking along the beach here! Great for surfing I couldn't walk along cliffs, got waves up to hip level. I suggest going to beaches south of La Costa, Encinitas & Solana Beach,...

Henshaw Scenic Vista Observation Site
Scenic spot
👍 Amazing view from about 1/4 up the way Palomar mountain. My wife and I took our truck for a drive and ended up stopping a few times for photos. This is a long way out of the way, no gas stations, no bathrooms. Some graffiti takes away from the ambiance, but the view is amazing. Feels like the old we...
