While San Diego is a beautiful town not only renowned 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 many historical spots to see. 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. Found on Coronado Island, this historic hotel, built in 1888, has been a widely wanted vacationing spot for people from all across the globe. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy an amazing sparkling beach where adults and kids alike play at the Pacific Ocean edge. Water sports, selections of many various activities, eateries and sorts of cuisine are offered. Also, easy accessibility to the Coronado Mall for shopping. The whole island is geared to making you feel relaxed and welcome.

Lots of Hollywood's flicks have featured the Hotel Del Coronado as a shooting site location. Probably the most generally known flick would be the hilarious comedy "Some Like it Hot" with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. As you wander through the main building, pictures of stars and legends, from royalty to Charles Lindbergh, that have either worked or stayed in the hotel are on view. The hotel also has a fullsize dancehall and meeting rooms, just to note a few facilities.

Cabrillo Countrywide MonumentThe hotel also

This place probably marks one of the most historically significant spots in San Diego. In 1542 a person named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the 1st Western european to step onto the North American West Coast. He's the man accountable 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. This isn't just the monument situated on lovely Point Loma, but close to the sea. 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 legitimate live carrier docked in the San Diego Harbor that served the US Military for 47 years. It is now a live maritime museum that is open to the general public. Not only is it a preferred place for families, it also offers prime viewing space for the 4th of July fireworks in San Diego. On deck there are enormous aircraft that visitors can climb into the cockpits of. You may go below deck on not only see the captains cabin, but where the soldiers on this ship ate, lived, and performed their duties; even the sickbay where they might go if they were hurt or not feeling well. This ship is a true marvel and a great monument not just for San Diego, but of the might of the United States armed forces.
