San Diegans can now catch an amazing view of the sunset at the tidepool area at Cabrillo National Monument during August weekends.
The national park announced the tidepool area will be open 30 minutes before sunset on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in August.
The park will be open until 8 p.m. and the tidepool area will close at 7:30 p.m. so that visitors can enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean and San Diego during sunset.
The national park is in a phased re-opening. All outdoor areas, trails and restrooms are open, but indoor areas like exhibits, the visitor's center and the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, will remain temporarily closed.
The park encourages the public to follow local health orders to keep 6 feet away from people who are not members of their household, to have a face covering ready and wear it if they come within 6 feet of other people, practice the leave-no-trace principle and avoid crowded areas.
The park opens every day at 9 a.m. Monday through Thursday and is open until 5 p.m., with the tidepools closing at 4:30 p.m.

The road to the tidepools may be closed if the area hits capacity, in order to maintain social distancing.
