 | | Kendra H, Co-op Member | | We really enjoyed the fort. It can be seen in about an hour or two. It was great to see some of the history of the first Spanish settlers and the wars surrounding the time. The grounds are amazing, and the view of the ocean is breathtaking from the top. They provide an activity book for the kids with lots of great history information. There is no food available at the fort but it is a short walk across the street to food and quaint shops. Also you need to bring some change as it is metered parking. |
