Point Loma is not a place to take a vacation to (unless you have family there). The traffic is horrible, but has some nice things to do, and Point Loma has some inappropriate businesses. In all Point Loma can use some work, but has some great stuff also.

I enjoyed a fantastic couple of hours here and would have stayed far longer if there had been dining options other than a vending machine with snacks in it. Choose a clear day and you will be rewarded with spectacular views of San Diego and the surrounding areas. There is so much to see and do here along with a very informative visitor centre with helpful and knowledgeable staff. My chances of visiting here again are minimal but if I was in the area I would, without hesitation, head for this iconic place that sits high on my list of favourite venues in the whole of the USA. I just wish there was a restaurant here.

Beautiful views of San Diego bay and downtown San Diego, along with views of the Pacific. The museum is also a nice place to learn about the history of San Diego. You can also drive down to the shoreline to explore tide pools.

Great places to see fantastic views of the sea and San Diego skyline. $20 parking. Parking plentiful. You can walk up the old lighthouse. Very interesting. New light house is not accessible. There are tide pools near the new lighthouse but we didn’t see any sea life there. Can spend upto 2 hours here.
