Explore Sausalito

Located just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Sausalito offers scenic bay vistas, hillside homes, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. Visitors can stroll along Bridgeway to browse local art galleries, shop at unique boutiques, and enjoy waterfront dining with views of Alcatraz and the city skyline. Taking a ferry from San Francisco's Ferry Building is one of the best ways to arrive and experience the town.

Expert notes

• Historic Sausalito downtown has many great options to spend the entire day. Still, most visitors enjoy shopping, exploring the waterfront places, especially the Bridgeway, and leisurely strolling on the southern or northern wooden boardwalks for great views of the seaside and picture-perfect old Victorian houses painted in pastel colors on the hills. The visitors center offers guided tours, workshops, and educational programs. Visit Marine Mammal Center to check out the rescued marine mammals. Spend time admiring the Sausalito Houseboats, especially the Taj Mahal houseboat. Lappert’s Ice Cream, with its unique flavors, serves as the best companion while strolling the waterfront.
