This was the first time a European expedition had set foot on what later became the West Coast of the United States. The monument offers spectacular views of San Diego's harbor and skyline, as well as the Pacific Ocean. In addition to the historical significance, the site features the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, which has been a beacon of light over the bay since 1855, and a wealth of natural resources, including tide pools and flora unique to the coastal environment.
