Point Loma
Visit Point Loma
Point Loma is a peninsula that is bordered on the west and south by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by the San Diego Bay and Old Town and the San Diego River on the north. A notable landmark, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, was completed in 1854 and is located within the Cabrillo National Monument, a great place to visit tidepools. Sunset Cliffs on the western side of the peninsula is a popular spot to watch the ocean and sunset and has several popular surf spots below. Marine activities are mostly located on the Bay side of the peninsula, where there are three yacht clubs, including the San Diego Yacht Club which was home to the America’s Cup from 1988 to 1995. There are several small-boat marinas and a commercial sport fishing dock on the Bay side. Point Loma has a variety of hotels, restaurants, the San Diego Sports Arena and the SOMA concert venue.
