Point Loma is a nice view of the harbor, but there's not much to do there. You cannot go up into the lighthouse, so it's just there to look at from the outside. The Cabrillo monument is ok, again just something to look at. The Military Cemetery is sobering and the best thing to view there. We enjoyed looking at the boats and view, but will not go back to this spot.

This is a great spot to soak in the beautiful scenery! You are out on a peninsula and so have unparalleled panoramic views of the city of San Diego, harbor, open ocean and coastline. Some informative plaques at the top even point out the kelp forests out in the ocean. We enjoyed the lighthouse but wish the top hadn't been closed off. We were only able to go up a little bit of the spiral staircase to the second floor. Lots of great historical information inside about the operation of the lighthouse. Be aware that since you are so close to Mexico your cell phone might think you are there like mine did and I almost racked up roaming/international charges. Great little location to check out!
