Portolá Discovery Site Monument

Highlight • Monument

This is the spot from which participants of the Portola Expedition saw the San Francisco Bay for the very first time. It's essentially the spot at which the existence of the bay was first realized by any European. It's a neat little historic nugget that not even many locals know about. You'll find an understated monument here memorializing that event.
