Cabrillo tidepool question

I'm visiting San Diego this week and will be doing some birding (in the rain apparently!), but also want to visit tide pools. I see the Cabrillo National Monument is closed to everyone, and since I've never been there before, is there still a way to access tide pools in the vicinity, or are they all in the park and truly off limits? What are the Point Loma tide pools – are they in the park? Is there a way to park somewhere and walk along the beach to access?  If these are inaccessible, are there any other awesome tidepools nearby?

Thank you!
