At dusk on November 15, 1855 the light keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the Point Loma light for the first time, but what seemed to be a good location 422 feet above sea level, however, had a serious flaw. Fog and low clouds often obscured the light. On March 23, 1891 the light was extinguished and the keeper moved to a new lighthouse location closer to the water at the tip of Point Loma.
Today the Old Point Loma Light House on a scenic hill that sits atop San Diego Bay, in California, USA, still stands watch over San Diego, sentinel to a vanished past. Today Point Loma's well known landmark is the Cabrillo National Monument, named after Juan Rodr�ez Cabrillo of Spain, the first European explorer to see San Diego Bay. The Old Point Loma Lighthouse is part of the monument.
