Sunset @ Sunset Cliffs
Sunset Cliifs is south of Ocean Beach and has several beaches below the cliffs that are accessible only through short but rugged and steep non-formal trails. The Park encompasses 68 acres of bluffs and walking paths high above the Pacific Ocean right next to Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. However, one can escape the signs of civilization high above by going down the bluffs.
Below Sunset Cliffs, the Busy Sunset Cliffs Boulevard is Hidden
Going down the bluffs however at Sunset Cliffs is not easy
since there are no formal trails. Also, one must attempt to go down the cliffs only at low tide, since several had been caught below the cliffs at high tide and had been pounded by the unforgiving waves towards the sandstone cliffs. Though it is really a short way down, but it requires a little of ingenuity problem solving the maze of going down the cliffs. If the trail does not feel safe, one should not approach it and find one that is within one's comfort level. There are some people who have become stuck or died falling off the cliffs. Though the cliffs are not that high, but hitting the rocks when you fall and pounded by the waves can be very dangerous. But if one pays extra care and more attention to safety, going down the cliffs is a beautiful experience.

Families love going here at low tide for tide pooling.

So, I may concluded that it must be, though small, a real adventurous place.
ReplyDeleteKyla's dream place, so much to explore and see!
ReplyDeleteps
hoping to meet you and Zen in December too. if nothing will change with our sched, we will be there from 9th to 27th. we initially wanted to book a holiday to Palawan too but we got a promo for Disneyland HK instead. yung budget namin for Palawan, napunta sa HK. hehe! we'll surely visit the place one day but how awesome it would be if i can meet you and Zen at the Underground River... shall we arrange a date to meet up in Manila na lang?
Wow! I can't imagine going down the cliffs at high tide and get pounded by the waves! Such a nice place to explore!
