The Cliff Restaurant
Cliff-edge tables, same view as Las Brisas next door, slightly better kitchen. Order the fish tacos and a glass of the rosé. The sunset hits the napkins; don't fight it.
Fish tacos. Glass of rosé. The light on the water is why you came.

Heisler Park
4.8★Walk · Heavy hitter
Park at the top of Cliff Drive, walk the bluff path north. The gazebo at the bend has the photo you've seen. Keep going past it to the pocket lawn by the lawn-bowling club. Nobody else makes it that far.
Crystal Cove State Park
4.8★Walk · Heavy hitter
Park at the El Morro lot, walk down to the historic district, pretend you live in one of the cottages. The tidepools below Reef Point are quieter than Crescent Bay and have more anemones.
Top of the World
4.8★Walk · Heavy hitter
Park at Alta Laguna and walk the ridge. On clear days you see Catalina; on hazy ones the marine layer eats the horizon and it feels like you're flying. Sunset is the obvious move but sunrise is the smart one.
