The neighborhood itself
19 verified places · 10 eat & drink and 18 things-to-do listsPoint Loma is the peninsula that ends San Diego: sandstone cliffs facing the open Pacific on one side, a working seafood harbor on the bay side, and a decommissioned naval training center turned food hall in between.
