City Walks SF #15: Fort Mason



Today's series of walks, numbers 15 through 18, follows the bay coast. Full of tourists in parts, but also lots of locals running, walking, and playing ball with their dogs, this area always makes me feel like I'm on vacation.

World War II soldiers heading to the Pacific left from the San Francisco Port of Embarkation at Fort Mason. Today the waterfront warehouses host an array of artistic businesses, a vegetarian restaurant, museums, and more.



The Great Meadow provides a place for dogs to run and picturesque views.



We also checked out Black Point Battery, hidden near the hostel.



The nearly-fallen-down Municipal Pier protrudes near the edge of the Fort. You can only walk on half of it, while the other side crumbles into the waves. That seems safe.
