Sunset Cliffs Park
If you are looking for a popular and safe destination for birding and hiking, try out Sunset Cliffs Park. It is located between Ocean Beach and Point Loma. It is also full of wonderful cliffs and coastal sea caves that provide a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean. Sunset Cliffs Park is one of the majestic spots to watch the endangered Belding's Savannah sparrow, brilliant seagull, and vivacious whimbrels.
Famosa Slough
Famosa Slough in Point Loma is another ultimate spot for bird watching. Besides walking trails, the small tidal marsh has benches at strategic places where you can sit and enjoy all kinds of shorebirds. Here, you can see birds like the Blue-winged Teal, American Coot, and the migratory marbled godwits. The few people on this trail make it the best place for unwinding and capturing the wonders of flying animals.
