Spectacular view of San Diego from high above the city. Very reasonable admission to get in. I believe it was $5 per car. They have a lighthouse that you can go in and see what the life of a lighthouse keeper would have been like many years ago. Don't miss the tidepools down below. The rock formations are beautiful and... more

What a wonderful place to visit. The views of San Diego Bay and the Pacific Coast were amazing. The hike to the lighthouse and the tour of same was worthwhile. Don't miss the tidal pool area. The National Military Cemetery is impressive also. Don't forget the binoculars and the camera. more

We drove to Cabrillo and stopped at the visitors center. There wasn't much to do, once we were there except look at the views, which were breathtaking. Definitely worth the drive. more

Gorgeous view, interesting lighthouse and museum. Good photo spot. Watched surfers WAY down below and looked for whales with no luck. Some neat remnants of WWII watchpoints. more

We drove out to Point Loma to visit the Cabrillo National Park. Excellent site with amazing views, a monument to an early Californian explorer, and the Point Loma Lighthouse. The kids participated in the National Parks Junior Ranger Program and this kept them interested and engaged as we explored the park. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy half a day... more

Don't miss this stop in San Diego. Great views of the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. The old lighthouse is interesting. more

If you want to experience the view don't go on an overcast day. I thought the fog would burn off, but unfortunately even by midday it was still too overcast and foggy to really see the view. So I would suggest you check the weather report before taking a trip to the monument. Despite the weather, I am still glad... more

From the breezy patio outside the visitor center, one has a great view of the city of San Diego and Naval Air Station North Island to the northeast. On a clear day one can see the distant mountains, also. We watched a submarine come into port, C130s and other aircraft take off, and redtail hawks float on the breeze as... more

This was an OK place to visit. The view of the harbor was great. Driving down the hill was probably the best part because of the shore line. The statue is nice if you're into statues but otherwise I wasn't impressed. more
