From up above, this location offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and one of the most beautiful stretches of coastal highway in the state of California. This is a spot that I recommend for anyone looking to enjoy an evening watching the sun set across the ocean — especially if you're shooting with a drone!
(before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

This drone image of S Camino Del Mar/N Torrey Pines Rd and the Pacific Ocean coastline was taken near the scenic spot called Sunset Seat.
If you're coming from the north, and driving south on S Camino Del Mar, there's parking on the side of the street (32.941124, -117.261262). Park there and then reference the GPS coordinates to get to the exact spot where I stood to launch my drone.
