It definitely isn't the quaint fishing village it once was, but a Must to see. Shelter island, a manmade island, is not a fantastic peninsula in Point Loma. Free to roam, walk the bayside, visit the pier to see what's biting, and enjoy the numerous restaurants. You may even be able to catch a Concert at Humphreys while you're there. Pt. Loma is definitely on a Must See list.
We were very rushed on time and would have loved to explore this National Park more. The views toward San Diego and the ocean were amazing. Great historical lighthouse on location that you can go in. Tower is no always open, so check beforehand if that is important to you. $15 per vehicle entry fee.
The views were amazing. I enjoyed the lighthouse. The tidal pools were not there the day we went but we still enjoyed the coastal trail.
Went out to visit my Brother-in-laws Navy Memorial wonderful views the Graves and other Memorials were immaculate as were all the grounds Very hellpul staff in the office printed out a little map for us thank you so much.
I love daily to walk Shelter Is. in Point Loma because it's flat and scenic. In addition to the myriad of hotels, cafes, and restaurants in this area, you can enjoy nature. At Humphrey's Inn near the outdoor stae there is a koi pond where ducks teach their ducklings to swim and feed. Also at the Sportsfishing Pier (near Pt. Loma Seafoods & Mitch's), you can catch a harbor seal swimming between the piers. And if you go between 6 - 7 a.m., you can see a display of fish, such as tuna (July 2019) that were caught overnight and being weighted/displayed in front of H&M Landing.
