The San Diego coastline generally offers a sunny and mild climate year- round. The ocean, however, can have a strong influence on weather conditions. Visitors should be prepared for cool and windy conditions, even if it is hot and dry further inland. A gray-marine layer can develop near the coast at any time of year, but this phenomenon is most common in the late spring and early summer. Accessibility The Monument is quite accessible.
Ramps are available throughout much of the park.
Special passes are provided to allow vehicles into less accessible view areas. The Visitor Center's rest rooms include an accesible unisex facility and a baby changing room. The historic Old Point Loma Lighthouse, however, is accesible by stairs only. Audio Station Programs are available in six languages. Getting Around Exploration of the park is limited to designated trails in order to minimize erosion and to protect the dry coastal sage scrub plants from trampling.
