Fort Point (Fort George)

Fort Point, also known as Fort George, is a historic military fort built in the mid-1800s at the southern tip of San Francisco's Presidio, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Designed to defend against naval attacks, it features sturdy stone walls and artillery emplacements. Over time, the fort transitioned from military use to a part of California State Parks, serving as a historic site and museum. Today, visitors can explore its well-preserved structures, learn about its strategic role in U.S. coastal defense, and enjoy scenic views of the bridge and bay.
