The "new" Point Loma Lighthouse was constructed on the shore below the Old Point Loma Lighthouse in 1891 because the Old Light, at 422 feet above sea level, was frequently enshrouded in fog and thus of little use to mariners.The Light is not open to the public but can be viewed from the parking area in Cabrillo National Monument. This is the southwesternmost tip of land in the continental United States.
These photos of the light were taken from a boat while on a whale watching tour, as we passed in and out of San Diego Bay.
