With a 7 year old I would pay for the parking at the top of the hill. We were there on a weekday and paid $10 and then we went on a holiday and the fee went up to $20. But if you park in the free parking by the time you hike up to the trails your 7 year old will be exhausted. The interpretive center has some fun hands on exhibits that I would recommend checking out too. Plan for at least a couple of hours to explore.

I would ask the Uber to drop off nearby where you enter and pay to park. From there you can hike the trails or just go for a stroll on the beach

Hi! I wanted to follow up about this post. I ended up going with my husband and daughter - it was beautiful! We lucked out with a parking spot at the top and did the Razor Point Trail then Guy Fleming. Pushing the stroller around especially backup hill after Guy Fleming was tough but well worth it! I’d recommend it for anyone with a jogging stroller, lots of sun screen, and the strength to carry a stroller up and down a couple stairs!

I think it’s 10-15$ to get a car into the state park. No fee to picnic. That being said it’s not much of an easy walk to the beach with picnic gear. The park is up high altitude wise where you walk down to the beach. I would recommend you arrive on a week day and go for a lunch picnic just outside of the park. Same beautiful views, parking is free and the walk is 20-30 yds vs almost a mile.

They do not.

From what I can remember, no dogs were allowed.

Yes this park has handicapped accessibility.

I happen to be in San Diego, and the weather is wonderful. There are storms coming in, so I would suggest that you bring with you some sort of light coat.

YES, at the ranger lodge at the top of the trail heads and also at the ranger station at the entry to the park

I'm not familiar with those names and I don't see them on the current hiking maps.
