While the trail does flatten out at the top, there is quite a climb to get there. Like most trails in the park, you get a good view of the ocean if you turn around.
At the intersection of the Clipper Ridge Trail and the Almeria Trail, you get good views of the Pacific Ocean, Pillar Point Naval Station, and the marina.

From the beginning of the trail, you can look uphill to see where the trail leads you. As you can tell, there isn't a lot of shade.
You can see the trail as it climbs the ridge line. You can see the pampas grass corridor on the hillside that you just descended.
