*** About Cabrillo National Monument: Cabrillo National Monument commemorates the landing of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who stepped onto the West Coast of the United States in 1542, marking the first time a European expedition had set foot on what later became the western shores of the United States. Situated at the tip of the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California, the monument offers spectacular views of the San Diego harbor and skyline, as well as the Pacific Ocean. The statue itself, standing tall within the monument, is a tribute to Cabrillo, looking out over the land he explored. Visitors to the park can enjoy a rich tapestry of history and natural beauty, including rugged tide pools and migrating gray whales.
