The bunker on Devil’s Peak was originally built during World War II as a triangulation and observing station and was once simply a piece of a much bigger set of buildings and facilities. When in service, a watcher equipped with a set of binoculars would keep watch out at sea and if they spotted any enemy ships they simply radioed a massive six-inch gun not far away which would sink them before they got close. Unfortunately, with the advent of more modern missile defenses the station became obsolete and the entire site was abandoned in 1949, leaving an empty bunker atop Devil’s Slide. The Little Devils Slide bunker acquired its peculiar appearance after a Montara man bought the land from the military and dug away much of the bluff, only to abandon his plan to develop the property. Few people know the odd-looking building is an important part of the region’s military history. The video was taken using a DJI Mavic Drone and an iPhone on a DJI Gimble "Osmo mobile"
