Cabrillo National Monument may be one of San Diego's most scenic parks, also offering a look into California history where the first European settler, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, stepped foot on the country's West Coast. Visitors can also enjoy access to the low-tide pools and Old Point Loma Lighthouse.
