Fort Baker is a historic military installation located in Marin County, California, within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just north of San Francisco. It is situated on a picturesque waterfront location along the shores of the San Francisco Bay, and it offers a combination of historical significance, natural beauty, and recreational opportunities.

One of the main attractions of Fort Baker is its stunning location along the bay. Visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, Alcatraz Island, and the Marin Headlands. The fort's location also provides opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and picnicking.

Within the grounds of Fort Baker, there is a luxury resort known as Cavallo Point Lodge. This lodge consists of beautifully restored historic buildings that offer upscale accommodations, dining options, a spa, and various wellness programs. It combines modern amenities with the historic charm of Fort Baker.
