On the tip of Point Loma (part of San Diego) in southern California.
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo is remembered for being the first European to explore the West Coast of North America, specifically the California coast, during his expedition in 1542. He is credited with claiming the region for Spain and providing valuable information about the geography and indigenous peoples of the area. Cabrillo's voyages helped pave the way for future Spanish exploration and colonization of California. His legacy is commemorated in various places, including Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego.

I'm sure you mean Cabrillo; Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. (There is a National Monument to Cabrillo on San Diego Bay in San Diego, California) Juan Cabrillo, a Spanish conquistador, landed in Mexico in 1520 and joined in the conquests of Mexico and Guatemala. He assumed command of Alvarado's exploration of the west coast of North America on Alvarado's death, discovering San Diego Bay Sept. 28, 1542, then sailed on to Northwest Cape beyond San Francisco Bay (which he did not find). Returning to winter on San Miguel Island off the Santa Barbara coast he died there January 3, 1543.
Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo led the first European expedition to explore what is now the west coast of the United States. Cabrillo departed from the port of Navidad, Mexico, on June 27, 1542. Three months later he arrived at "a very good enclosed port." That port is known today as San Diego bay. Historians believe he anchored his flagship, the San Salvador, on Point Loma's east shore near Cabrillo National Monument. Cabrillo later died during the expedition, but his crew pushed on, possibly as far north as Oregon, before thrashing winter storms forced them to back to Mexico.
