Point Loma Peninsula
San Diego, California

Point Loma is technically referenced as The Peninsula. Thus, if you cannot find Point Loma in your real estate search, you should be able to find information under the search term The Peninsula. Not surprisingly, Point Loma is located on a peninsula that offers both beach and bay access and is located in the San Diego, California area. The neighborhood is known for its historic sites, and outdoor recreational opportunities.

One of the main attractions in Point Loma is the Cabrillo National Monument, which sits at the tip of the peninsula and offers visitors a chance to learn about the history of the area and the role it played in the early exploration of California. The monument features a visitor center, museum exhibits, and a statue of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, the 16th-century explorer who was the first European to set foot on what is now California.
