Description
Sausalito is a small town in Marin County facing San Francisco across from the Golden Gate Bridge. From a background in shipbuilding, the community became an enclave for artists and wealthy individuals as well as a tourist destination. Tourists / SF residents come here to enjoy the laidback seaside atmosphere, walk along the boardwalk, check out the houseboats and art galleries, and discover the trails of nearby Marin Headlands.
Access & Transport
Drive across the Golden Gate Bridge on the 101 taking exit 442 from San Francisco or take bus 130. The easiest and most enjoyable way is actually to take a ferry from and to San Francisco (Pier 41 or Ferry Building).
Instructions & Recommendations
For keen walkers it is very much possible to cross the GG Bridge on foot, enjoy the views from the various viewpoints on the Marin side and then walk 3km to Sausalito. Head back to the city by ferry.
Environmental & Social
Green activity except for the transport to get there. Tourism brings activity to the town but also puts pressure on the cost of living
Conclusion
This is a week-end / short break destination for SF residents or a casual half-day trip for travellers with more than 3 days in town and looking to explore the area, away from the busy city.
