I always say, if you’re heading to San Diego and you haven’t explored Point Loma, you’re seriously missing out. I remember the first time I drove up that hilly peninsula—it felt like I’d discovered one of the city’s best-kept secrets.

You’ll love how Point Loma juts out into the Pacific Ocean, creating a stunning backdrop while helping to shelter the San Diego Bay. I couldn’t get enough of the views—especially at sunset. With around 48,000 people calling it home, it’s got that perfect mix of local charm and coastal beauty.

I didn’t realize until my visit that this was actually where the first European expedition landed in California. You’ll definitely feel the layers of history when you’re walking around. But it’s not just about the past—today, Point Loma is a vibrant getaway. I’ve tried the water sports, done a little fishing, and let me tell you—you’ll have plenty to keep you busy if you’re the adventurous type.
