I love this place! A little free gem at a beach forgotten by most. Start your day by checking the tide charts and go at low tide. The staff can tell you how to walk to the tide pools along the cliffs. Enjoy nature naturally (wear appropriate shoes) and then go inside and learn about what you saw.
Cabrillo has a live education/teaching lab now too and we had the opportunity to interact with very sharp high schoolers tending to their experiments.
If you can, check out a Grunion Run. Great late night fun watching fish spawn in the sand.

There is also a live tide pool touch tank that opens on a schedule so either plan ahead or be flexible.
Bring a picnic to enjoy at the beach and make a day of learning and wonder.
Great staff who are almost all volunteer!
