Stunning homes and secret coves
From its undulating ocean edge to its cozy inland streets, Sunset Cliffs is a nature lovers’ California dream. The community’s treasure is Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, offering access to one-of-a-kind views, flat-rock cliffs and hidden beaches that can only be found in Sunset Cliffs. Visitors enjoy the crash of waves while lounging on a warm plateau or scaling down sandy bluffs to surf or paddleboat. Daytrippers park in the roadside pull-offs to soak up the scenery, but residents need only walk across the street to fish from rocky precipices and investigate the natural caves that are revealed at low tide.
Many homes in Sunset Cliffs are great for entertaining with firepits, and balconies.

From Sunset Cliffs Natural Park to Ross Rock
“My whole life here, we’ve been starting our weekends by cruising down the boulevard along the cliffs all the way to Fort Rosecrans,” says longtime local resident and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Michael Panissidi. He’s also the co-leader of Ghio Panissidi and Associates. “And at the south end, there’s this several-mile trail where you can enjoy all that Sunset Cliffs offers—whether it’s hiking, surfing, birdwatching or picnics. It's also a great place to just stop and watch the sun set.” Locals meander sandy paths through flower-laced terrain to reach Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. Because it’s difficult to access the caves along the coast in Sunset Cliffs, the few who manage to get close capture and share unforgettable photos. Visitors and locals alike are often surprised and delighted by sporadic appearances of artwork at Ross Rock, an immense natural formation offshore. Throughout the park's history, the rock has been a stage for a stunning mermaid statue, a large peace sign, and a Christmas tree.

The Thursday Club: a local legend
In the triangular convergence of neighborhood streets lies The Thursday Club event destination, which features indoor banquet and outdoor garden areas. “Point Lomians have been hosting all kinds of special events at The Thursday Club since the early ‘20s,” Panissidi says. “It’s a killer place to have a wedding because you’re right in the neighborhood, but you get these unexpected incredible views.” Sunset Cliffs is also neighbored by Point Loma Nazarene University, and the school’s Salomon Theatre is open to the public for stage productions.
