Reviews and Ratings
Write a reviewOne of the most accessible of the San Francisco batteries, and right next to Baker Beach! This is a really fun place to explore with the family. As a photographer, I really enjoy the play of light and shadow, as well as the geometry – I often bring my session clients here! Be cautious as folks have been robbed here for their camera equipment. Make sure there are people around and I would be very careful if you are lingering after dark.
Perhaps the disappearing gun has disappeared under cover now that summer is over
great to spend time
