Open to the public until sunset because it’s a sunset you don’t want to miss! After sunset, walk just north of the pier and take a photo looking back at the pier!

Famous for sunset but beautiful anytime of day. For great group shots have someone stand on higher ground looking down over the north side of the edge where there is a very large ledge below. For individual shots, the walkway down below is a unique shot.

Great city views across the water... you can't really go wrong from anywhere if you align your shot from the park looking across the water towards the city skyline.

Cabrillo National Monument
A little oasis of Hispanic history of early San Diego from the mission to the mercados you'll feel like you stepped into the past a little bit but a margarita is never more than a few steps away. I like taking pictures of the pottery items and other goods... for iPhone users, I've found the portrait setting creates a professional effect as well as giving 3D images for facebook sharing!

Potato Chip rock is a popular tourist destination but its great for those wanting one of the area's most prime photo op as it is usually surrounded by hikers also hoping someone will help them snap the highly-coveted picture that's impossible without help! Just make sure to pay it forward and help out those around you! It's also an easier hike with lots of traffic making it a safe outing even for those who aren't usually the hiking type.
