Built in the mid-1800s to guard the entrance to San Francisco Bay during the Gold Rush, Fort Point National Historic Site is nestled just below the Golden Gate Bridge on the northern tip of San Francisco. This small, historic site offers visitors a chance to explore its well-preserved structures on foot. From the fort, one can enjoy a fantastic vantage point of the iconic bridge and the expansive bay, providing a unique perspective on the city’s maritime history and natural beauty.
