Cabrillo National Monument, located in San Diego, California, commemorates the landing of Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542. This historic event marked the first time a European expedition set foot on what is now the west coast of the United States. The monument offers stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, San Diego skyline, and Coronado Island. Visitors can explore the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, which has been restored to its 19th-century appearance, and enjoy the trails that showcase the coastal sage scrub habitat and tide pools teeming with marine life.
