Today we headed to Pt. Loma in search of whales. We both have colds so we wanted to do something simple that did not take too much energy. We drove through Coronado and over the Coronado Bridge then to Pt. Loma. On the way, we passed through Fort Rosecrans and a military cemetery with beautiful views of San Diego Bay.
Pt. Loma is part of the Cabrillo National Monument, a National Park. On the site there is the old Cabrillo Light House and the Cabrillo Monument. Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first European to set foot on what is now the West Coast of the United States. We went to the visitor's center and walked to the old light house.
As for whale watching? Maybe we were too impatient but we did not see any. A ranger told me the best sightings seem to be in the morning. The picture below was taken from the lighthouse looking towards San Diego and Coronado.
