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

On our recent tip to San Diego, I decided to visit the park as a break from Seaworld and other activities. We were not disappointed. We did not know what to expect, and my 2 kids spent about 3 hours at the park walking, hiking and playing on the rocks, tide pools and lighthouse area. It was totally unexpected, and... more

Incredibly beautiful views...absolutely stunning. Monument has a museum featuring exhibits about early Spanish explorers, plus a lighthouse and keeper's quarters from the late 1800s, complete with furnishings and information about life for the keeper and his family. We didn't get a chance to explore the tidepools (we arrived at the wrong time, later in the day, around 3, and the... more

The hike down to the tide pools and along the cliffs was very relaxing. We were there on a sunny day and were able to see some seals and small marine animals. Being from the Midwest, we also enjoyed the flora which is so different from what we were used to. It was especially helpful that the bushes and flowers... more

My family loves going here. You get an awesome view of the harbor and city. We were lucky enough to see the Ronald Regan leaving port right below us as we stood on the point. The light house has a great history and makes for some good photo opportunities. Don't forget to drive down to the tide pools and see... more
