A short but breathtaking drive out to the Point Loma area will take you to a place with dramatic views that can stretch for miles. The Old Point Loma Lighthouse was first used in 1855, but only kept in service for 36 years due to low lying clouds and fog which obscured the light. A new lighthouse was built at sea level in 1891 and is still being used today. Expect to see great views of the city's skyline, Coronado Bridge and navy ships. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of migrating whales during December through March. The nearby Cabrillo Monument, the south-western most point in the contiguous United States, is a celebration of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo's voyage of discovery in 1542 and was completed in 1913.
