Scenic View/Photo Spot

The West Coast World War II Memorial is a curved wall of California granite set in a grove of Monterey pine and cypress. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, it bears the names of 413 members of the armed forces lost or buried at sea in US Pacific coastal waters between 1941 and 1945. Managed by the American Battle Monuments Commission, the memorial stands as a humble symbol of appreciation and respect.

The memorial has limited parking, including an accessible parking space, along Washington Blvd.
