Point Loma
On a clear day, Point Loma is one of the most scenic locations in Southern California.
Looking east, it offers a spectacular panorama of San Diego Bay and south along the
coast into Mexico. On the other side of the hill facing west, the Pacific Ocean
beckons with white-water views and sunsets. Fog often obscures the view, so check
the current weather conditions before you visit.

View looking toward San Diego Bay
On the eastern side of the peninsula, you get a 180-degree view of the San Diego Bay,
from north to south. Starting in the north, there is the Submarine Support facility
on Ballast Point with Shelter Island in the background. Panning to the right, North
Island Naval Air Station on Coronado dominates the view, with downtown San Diego
directly behind it.

View looking south-east along the coast toward Mexico
Still on the eastern side of the peninsula, looking further south affords views
of Mexico and a glimpse of the Coronado Islands.
|
View looking south to the tip of the peninsula
To the south, you can see further down the coast of Mexico, and the
Coronado Islands. Down below on the edge of the water is the new Coast Guard lighthouse which
replaced the historic old Point Loma Lighthouse located on the high ground.
|
Views to the west and north
Looking west, you can see the white water crashing along the rugged
coast, and the outline of San Clemente Island on the horizon. Facing north,
you can see both the Pacific Ocean on the left, and San Diego Bay on the
right side of the peninsula.
