Review:

A part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Fort Cronkhite is a former army post and part of the coastal artillery that defended the San Francisco Bay Area in WWII. The soldiers stationed at Cronkhite managed radar sites, gun batteries, and other fort installations placed on the ridges above the fort. Fort Cronkhite is today a part of the Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is managed by the National Park Service. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are walking tours of the army buildings, but some of the buildings are now used by non-profit groups for their offices and are not accessible to the general public. Visitors can enjoy hiking the trails around the fort, and Rodeo Beach, known for great surfing, is also nearby.
