Visit San Diego Monuments

By Carlie Smith


While San Diego is an attractive town not only known for its great weather, there are monuments in San Diego that are definitely worth checking out. San Diego isn't just an old historic town, but one with numerous historic spots to enjoy. When you come to San Diego be ready the give these San Diego monuments a gander.

Hotel Del Coronado

One of the prettiest monuments in San Diego is the superb Hotel Del Coronado. Located on Coronado Island, this beautiful and historic hotel, built in 1888, has been a widely wanted holiday spot for folks from all over the world. Guests have accessibility to a fantastic sparkling beach where kids and adults alike play at the Pacific Ocean's edge. Water based sports, selections of many different activities, eateries and kinds of cuisine are offered. Additionally, easy accessibility to the Coronado Mall for shopping. The totality of the island is geared to causing you to feel relaxed and welcome.

Plenty of Hollywood's flicks have made use of the Hotel Del Coronado as a shooting site location. Potentially the most generally known flick would be the hilarious comedy "Some Like it Hot" with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. As you stroll through the key building, pictures of stars and legends, from royalty to Charles Lindbergh, that have either worked or stayed in the hotel are on display. There is also a full-size ballroom dancehall and meeting rooms, just to talk about a few facilities.

Cabrillo State MonumentThe hotel also

This place possibly marks one of the most historically important spots in San Diego. In 1542 a figure named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the very first EU to step onto the North American West Coast. He's the figure responsible for the discovery of the land that San Diego sits on today, and without this huge happening, there may never have been a San Diego. Not only is this monument found on beautiful Point Loma, but very close to the Pacific Ocean. It tells the story of the first explorers that reached this area and is a big part of San Diego history.

USS Midway Museum

This is a genuine live military aircraft carrier located in the San Diego Harbor that served the United States Military for 47 years. It's currently a live maritime museum that is open to the public. Not only is it a popular place for families, the museum also offers prime viewing space for the 4th of July fireworks in San Diego. On deck there are large aircraft that visitors can climb into the cockpits of. You can also go below deck on not only see the captains cabin, but where the infantrymen on this ship ate, lived, and performed their duties; even the sickbay where they might go if they were injured or not feeling well. This ship is a true sight to see and a great monument not only for San Diego, but of the might of the United States army.
