Fort Point National Historic Site

Presidio of San Francisco

Stand directly beneath the Golden Gate Bridge at this Civil War-era brick fort, where waves crash against the rocks and rust-red bridge beams frame the Pacific. Explore three tiers of arched casemates, old cannons, and a 19th-century lighthouse before climbing to the roof for one of the city's most dramatic vantage points.
