One of the more interesting sites in the Bay Area is Fort Point, a preserved coastal fortress from the days of brick masonry fortifications that defended the coast of California. Surprisingly, despite the fact that Fort Point is well preserved and absolutely beautiful, not many tourists go there. Very few locals even go there.

Of course very few people go to Fort Point to see the walls or the living quarters. They go for the view from the roof. And if you don't believe me, here are some pictures of it that I took myself:
