Sausalito is located in Marin County approximately four miles north of San Francisco, at the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge. The charming small community was developed as a shipbuilding center during World War II and soon became a popular artist’s colony and tourist destination.

Its historic downtown offers a wide variety of quaint shops and businesses, including famous seafood restaurants with waterfront views.

A wide variety of public parks and beaches are offered throughout the city, including Vina del Mar Plaza, Dunphy Park, and Schoonmaker Beach. A municipal fishing pier, boat ramp, and ungated marina are also offered, which are accessible via ferry service from San Francisco. Map
