Sausalito: San Francisco's Favorite Getaway


 

This charming village lies near the northern base of the Golden Gate Bridge, just 30 minutes by ferry from San Francisco. Centuries of whaling and boating have imbued a nautical ambiance into the flavor of this shopping and dining getaway. The views back to the city are spectacular. Sausalito features a three-acre model miniature ocean, rebuilt speakeasies, a fort/resort, and a kids’ outdoor Discovery Museum…plus houseboats, restaurants, marinas, coves, and much, much more…

Tips in this Tour:
Bring extra clothes on the ferry. The famed San Francisco fog isn’t a myth, and the Bay crossing, while only 30 minutes, can be nippy. Bring a sun hat too, just in case I’m wrong.
This is a great cycling destination: start in San Francisco, go through the Golden Gate Park, across the bridge, and down the hill past the Visitor’s Center. You can return with the bike by ferry, but be careful in Sausalito: blundering cyclists will be ticketed!
Check the ferryboats to see if they give transfers to Fisherman’s Wharf when you return to San Francisco. If you push the transfer button you get to ride the fancy bus!
Got an extra day in SF? Take one of the same ferryboats to Tiburon for a few hours of walking, shopping, and dining.  Proceed to Angel Island to see the old fort and/or hike the island. There is no charge to bring your bicycle.
Caledonia Street in Sausalito, a block uphill from the seaside Police Department, is a fun street with excellent restaurants, a first-rate movie house, and the library/city hall in an old school building!
