A GOOD REASON TO GO
Ocean views & coastal history
Point Loma combines sweeping harbor views with a historic lighthouse and coastal habitats. A visit can move from maritime history to tidepool observation when tides and access permit.

Before you go
Check low-tide timing and coastal access separately. Roadside overlooks and tidepool terrain have different accessibility.
Allow time for the approach, interpretation and breaks. Check the specific facilities and walking surfaces your guests need.
Current access, reservations, fees and operating arrangements should be checked with the official operator or managing agency. Photographs can show earlier conditions.
