Cerro Cabrillo is one of the Nine Sisters, a group of nine volcanic landmarks in the area.
Others include Morro Rock and Hollister Peak.
It is named after Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, a Spanish maritime explorer, who was sailing off the coast in 1542.

The rock outcrop, composed mostly of rhyodacite, is a volcanic plug formed when magma welled up underneath a layer of softer rock and solidified.
The softer overlying rock has since eroded away, leaving a distinct, rugged shape.

On its east face is a rock formation named Tiki Rock, because of its resemblance to a Polynesian Tiki carving.
