Pets are not allowed in the park, except in the coastal area. If you bring a pet, it must be left confined in a vehicle. Guide dogs are exempted. Pets in the coastal area must be on a leash of no more than six feet. This is for your safety and to protect the intertidal ecosystem.
Fishing is permitted with hook and line only in accordance with California state law.
Only finfish can be taken. A California fishing license is required and must be worn in plain sight. No shellfish, octopus, or other animal beside finfish legally caught may be taken, used as bait, or possessed within the boundaries of Cabrillo National Monument. No shells, rocks, or other objects may be taken from the park. Cliff areas in the park are very unstable.
