Cabrillo Point Lighthouse is worth the quick half-mile detour, where you’re welcome to ride around the extensive complex. The views are outstanding, with trails leading out onto the bluffs. The buildings are open to visitors, including a charming lighthouse still in operation, two museums, a small aquarium, and the lighthouse keeper’s cottage. There are occasional tours of the lens upstairs inside the lighthouse, however, it is primarily a very nice gift shop with staff who are very knowledgeable.

Historic wooden lighthouse with a Fresnel lens, now automated. The downstairs room is accessible on a free/donation basis, and offers some historic displays and items for sale to help fund the conservation work, while the nearby Blacksmith shed provides a small exhibit of marine nature, including a large aquarium containing mostly sea urchins and starfish.
