*** About Old Point Loma Lighthouse: The Old Point Loma Lighthouse, located at the tip of the Point Loma peninsula in San Diego, California, served as a pivotal navigation aid in the past. Constructed in 1855, it proudly stood as one of the first lighthouses on the West Coast of the United States. Standing 422 feet above sea level, its light beam once guided ships navigating into San Diego Harbor. Decommissioned in 1891 due to frequent fog obscuring its light, the lighthouse now functions as a museum, preserved within the Cabrillo National Monument. It offers a glimpse into the maritime history of the area and provides spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and ocean.
