Located in San Diego California, the Cabrillo National Monument provides a historic lighthouse with plenty of activities.  There are great views here as well, with tidepools, flora and fauna, whales to watch, and even military history.

The Monument offers hiking along designated trails, bicycling on paved roadways, and swimming within the park boundaries.  Fishing is permitted here as well, with hook and line - although only one fish may be taken.  When walking the trails and exploring, make sure to be on the lookout for cliff areas, as they can be very unstable.

A lot of visitors come to the National Monument to enjoy the breathtaking views of the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean.  Because of this very reason, the park has become of the best harbor views anywhere in California - or the world for that matter!

The tidepools are great to see here as well, although you should always be careful.  Even though they are great to admire, the surface may be very slippery.

Anytime you are in the San Diego area, a trip to  the Cabrillo National Monument is more than worth the time.  You can walk the trails, have fun, or just enjoy the breathtaking views of San Diego that only the Cabrillo National Monument can provide you with.
