Point Cabrillo Light Station

Highlight • Monument

Cabrillo Point Lighthouse is worth the quick half-mile detour, where you’re welcome to ride around the extensive complex. The views are outstanding, with trails leading out onto the bluffs. The buildings are open to visitors, including a charming lighthouse still in operation, two museums, a small aquarium, and the lighthouse keeper’s cottage. There are occasional tours of the lens upstairs inside the lighthouse, however, it is primarily a very nice gift shop with staff who are very knowledgeable.
