Additional information about California , San Diego County , and San Diego City's demographic and historic resources is informative. Notice that San Diego airport is southwest of Interstate 5, and the Navy base is surrounded by San Diego Bay. Much of Point Loma consists of a peninsula that leads to the famous Point Loma Lighthouse situated at the southern most point. That event marked the first time that Europeans set foot on what we now call the west coast of the United States. This image map provides directions to Point Loma from either highway Interstate 5 or from highway Interstate 8 west.
Specific information is provided below the image map.
The southern end of Point Loma hosts the famous Point Loma Lighthouse , as well as several important Navy research organizations. In addition to leading to the Lighthouse, it serves as the highway that brings several thousand employees to and from work each weekday. The pictures are especially worthy of your time. This view of Point Loma looks south toward the Lighthouse. These barracks were built during World War II and now host scientists, engineers, computer specialists, and others who rather like being in them.
