Scenic View/Photo Spot

Updrafts over the coastal bluffs make Fort Funston one of the best hang gliding sites on planet Earth. Fort Funston is especially conducive to flying between March and October, but conditions are enviable year-round.

Anyone interested in getting in the air must contact the Fellow Feathers of Fort Funston for more information.
