If you ever want to take someone to a spot that will have them in awe, I suggest Double Peak Park. It outlooks the ocean and the beautiful city of San Marcos. There are also hiking trails along the mountain side if you are interested in a workout with a view! Sunset is when the ocean is the most extravagant sight, great place for photography as well.
I took Discovery Lake Trail from the Start to Double Peak on my Mountain Bike . it took me 55 minutes to reach to Double Peak Park. All the views on the way up were absolutely amazzing including those loop Trails . Scenic View is the Best once you reach the very Top.
My favorite views. Amazing hidden spot, never too busy. You can hike or drive up if you’re feeling kind of lazy but still want some breath taking views.
Hike/walk/run and dog trails nice 360° view on a clear day
Great views in all directions.
