What to expect
Point Loma, a peninsula and neighborhood in San Diego, is a historic coastal area known for its stunning views, natural beauty, and cultural attractions, including the Cabrillo National Monument and Liberty Station.
This monument commemorates Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo's historic 1542 landing and offers spectacular panoramic views of San Diego and the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can explore exhibits about the explorer's voyage and enjoy hiking trails along the peninsula's edge.
Point Loma Tide Pools
Located within Cabrillo National Monument, these rocky intertidal zones reveal a fascinating microcosm of marine life during low tide. Visitors can observe sea anemones, starfish, crabs, and other creatures in their natural habitat while learning about coastal ecosystems.
Standing sentinel since 1855, this charming lighthouse has been restored to its 19th-century appearance with period furnishings and interpretive displays. Now decommissioned, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of lighthouse keepers and their families.
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery
This solemn military cemetery stretches across rolling hills with breathtaking ocean views on both sides of the peninsula. The meticulously maintained grounds honor American veterans with white marble headstones that create a powerful visual tribute.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
