Located on the military base at the southern tip of Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse (built in 1855) served as a beacon for sailors for centuries, and today serves as a link to our past. The Old Point Loma Lighthouse stood watch over the entrance to San Diego Bay for 36 years. At dusk on November 15, 1855, the light keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the light for the first time. What seemed to be a good location 422 feet above sea level, however, had a serious flaw. Fog and low clouds often obscured the light. On March 23, 1891, the light was extinguished and the keeper moved to a new lighthouse location closer to the water at the tip of the Point.

The central feature of Cabrillo National Monument atop the Point Loma Peninsula is the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, which was erected by the U.S. Government in 1855. With spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, the San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline, and Coronado, the sights in Point Loma are unparallelled. However, there's more to do and see than just gorgeous views, including some popular and lesser-known activities like the Lighthouse or the Fort Rosecrans Cemetary.

Nice drive out to the tip of Point Loma. History! Tour the lighthouse, walk down the trails to the sea. Visit the park bookstore for history, souvenirs.

Situated on top of a cliff, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse used to be the most elevated lighthouse in the United States. It was so tall, in fact, that the clouds often hid it from view, so lighthouse keepers would fire shotguns at approaching ships to keep them away. Things are much less dramatic now, but the Old Point Loma Lighthouse is still great in terms of San Diego attractions. You can take a tour, explore the grounds, visit the on-site museum and catch a show from historical re-enactors. On the lighthouse’s birthday, the actual tower is open to the public, so you can climb the steps and gaze at San Diego from on high. You won’t want to miss the Old Point Loma Lighthouse if you’re a fan of fun landmarks and monuments. Just the fact that it’s still standing is a testament to its strength! Give it a visit while you’re touring the California coast. Address: 1800 Cabrillo Memorial Dr, San Diego, CA 92106, United States

Historic lighthouse built in 1855, preserved as a national musuem. There are also tidepools located below the lighthouse that can be visited during low tide for incredible viewing of anemones, starfish, small crabs and fish.
