About

Old Point Loma Lighthouse

The Old Point Loma Lighthouse stands as a historic icon within the Cabrillo National Monument, offering a glimpse into San Diego's maritime past. Built in 1855, the lighthouse once guided ships into the harbor but was replaced due to fog often obscuring its light at such a high elevation. Today, visitors can tour the restored keeper's quarters and enjoy commanding views of the ocean and bay from one of the highest points in the area.
