	Cabrillo National Monument & Lighthouse San Diego, California ~ November 2004 ~ The Cabrillo National Monument is located in Point Loma at 1800 Cabrillo Memorial Drive, San Diego CA 92106 (619) 557-5450
	The Cabrillo National Monument is home to the old Point Loma Lighthouse, built in 1854. It was among the first eight American lighthouses built on the West Coast. However, the lighthouse's placement 422 feet above sea level caused the light to be frequently shrouded in fog and low clouds, and so in 1891 the lighthouse was abandoned, when a new lighthouse was built down closer to the water. Cabrillo National Monument huser det gamle Point Loma Fyr, bygget i 1854. Det var et af de otte amerikanske fyrtårne først bygget på Vestkysten. Men fyrets beliggenhed knap 130 meter over vandets overflade gjorde, at fyret ofte var indhyllet i tåge og lave skyer, så i 1891 blev fyrtårnet nedlagt, da et nyt fyr blev bygget tættere ned til vandet.

	Looking southwest from Point Loma Lighthouse you can see the uninhabited Los Coronados Islands of Mexico. In the winter this part of Cabrillo National Monument is a good spot for whale watching, and the area close to the water is full of tidepools. Sydvest for Point Loma Fyrtårn kan man se de ubeboede meksikanske Los Coronados Øer. Om vinteren er denne del af Cabrillo National Monument et godt sted at holde udkig efter gråhvaler, og området nede ved vandet er fyldt med tidevandssøer.
