The Beach

Nothing better to do on Friday after my classes I decided its finally time to see the Pacific coast. I google’d a bit for it and to my surprise found that its real close to where I live. Fort Funston, a decommissioned army base acts as a beach area. So I took my friends bike and headed out.

It took me about 15-20 minutes to get there and there was a little hike from the road level to get to the coast. Its actually a cliff side. I had to go up a log staircase to get there and go down another log staircase to get down to the beach. The first thing I noticed were dogs. There were lots and lots of dogs. I didn’t know that this area is one of the most visited dog walking parks in San Francisco. And then I saw Battery Davis which you see below. I was amazed by the sheer size of the Gun that it used to hold.

To the side of Battery Davis is Fort Funston’s hang gliding viewing platform used by spectators. Fort Funston is now a major site for hang gliding with an area set aside for opening and folding gliders and taking off.
