    Point Loma, before you go

    A big, varied peninsula: Liberty Station's converted Navy campus and food hall, Shelter and Harbor Island's marina restaurants, Ocean Beach's border, and Sunset Cliffs at the western edge.

    Getting there
    Rosecrans Street from I-5 or I-8. About 15 minutes from downtown, 10 from the airport.
    Parking
    Free and plentiful at Liberty Station; tighter along Shelter Island on weekends.
    When to go
    Sunset, unambiguously — Sunset Cliffs and the harbor-facing restaurants are built around it.
    Local note
    Liberty Station works as a single stop with several options; the marina restaurants are a separate trip on the other side of the peninsula.
