The basics

A visit to the brick fort offers a look at artifacts such as Civil War–era uniforms, cannons and other weaponry, and historical photographs. As you climb up to the top tier, stop on each floor to take in displays before continuing to the roof to excellent views. On high-swell days, you might even spot local surfers riding waves underneath the bridge.   If you’re just interested in seeing the fort from the outside, there are several ways to do so, including bike tours, bus tours over the bridge to Sausalito, and the ferry ride to Alcatraz Island.
