1891 Point Loma Lighthouse | Additional Description: The new Point Loma Lighthouse built in 1891 stands down near the coast on the tip of the peninsula. It replaced the original 1855 lighthouse on the hill to your right. The modernized structure sends out a brilliant white beam that flashes every 15 seconds, and is equipped with a powerful foghorn that can be heard by ships up to 3 miles out (4.8km). You can get a good view of the lighthouse from the whale overlook.
