Cabrillo Monument (San Miguel Island), California
View Original Description
The first European explorer to land was the explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, who commanded three Spanish ships that spent several weeks on the island while exploring the Santa Barbara Channel and California Coast. Cabrillo died on the island and is thought by many to have been buried there.
The memorial commemorating the Spanish explorer can be found above Cuyler Harbor, and makes for a great place to watch the sunrise.
