Standing at the Cabrillo National Monument monument, you can see the invincible sea view from above, and the San Diego and Mexico border is also unobstructed. At the beginning of the year, you can see the whales swimming across the sea at the Whale Overlook attraction. Next to the Old Point Loma lighthouse is also not to be missed, the rotating small stairs and the historical items retained in the house are very old.
The park is the only national park in Santiago, located on the city's southwestmost promontory of the entire continental United States. It was built to commemorate the discovery and landing of Portuguese Cabrillo on the continent. The park is not big, drive in, the ticket is about $10 a car, we have to go to other national parks, so we bought an annual ticket for 80 yuan for the United States national park here. There is a statue in the park, a lighthouse and a memorial hall, there is nothing in it. In this park surrounded by sea on three sides, you can overlook the opposite island of Colorado. The scenery should be good when the weather is good. We also captured hummingbirds, a small island the size of a bee, never seen before.
Walk the park, including the lighthouse. It is 400 feet above sea level, so you can see the vast sea or watch ships enter and exit the nearby naval base. Choose to come at low tide when the puddles at the bottom of the basin dry up.
This is a historic park in memory of the first Spanish colonizer to discover the land. It is possible to hike along the seaside trails and borrow telescopes to watch whales at the visitor center.
