This is Marina's counterpart to Fillmore Street, with it's nightclubs, bookstores, restaurants, and shops. However, it caters more to well-heeled locals than to visitors.
Fort Mason
This former military base forms the northern boundary of Marina where it meets the bay. Though decommissioned in 1972 it still maintains a few of its original buildings, such as the barracks and hospital. Several of the structures have been converted into small art museums and theaters that cater to the neighborhoods, and the grounds are now a park.
