La Playa & Point Loma

This is a 2.5-mile loop featured in Schad's posthumous work, 50 Best Short Hikes in San Diego. It was also written up in the San Diego Reader a few years ago. It features "fine homes and San Diego Bay and marina views." Just right for a hot summer day!

We start and end at the intersection of Anchorage Lane and Talbot St. in the Point Loma area. (N 32 43.148 W 117 13.873). We'll meet at 9:00 AM and step off at 9:15 AM.

As usual, face masks and "social distancing" are required. Leashed dogs are allowed, but they don't have to wear masks.

We've done this hike before, most recently on August 21, 2019. For a description, including pictures, see https://www.meetup.com/sandiegodayhikers/events/264115584/

SUGGESTED ROUTE: Take the Rosecrans St. exit from either I-5 or I-8. Follow Rosecrans St. southwest about three miles. Turn left on Talbot St. and go two blocks to the junction of Talbot St. and Anchorage Lane. Park on a nearby street.

The number 28 bus from Old Town Transit Center stops on Anchorage Lane only a few blocks away. It runs about every 20-30 minutes.

Some of the path along the bayside is unpaved, but it is hard-packed. There is a short shady part. Hiking shoes are not required. Wear good walking shoes. Use sun protection. Take a camera if you wish.
