Vallejo is located within Marin County along the Tiburon Peninsula, which is also home to the city of Belvedere. The charming bayside city’s name is derived from the Spanish word for shark and was formerly a terminus for the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad.
Today, it is a popular tourist destination, connected to San Francisco via ferry service and showcasing a wide variety of eclectic boutiques and shops.
Historic restaurants include Sam Anchor’s Cafe, which was established in 1920 and offers a public pleasure boat dock. During the spring and summer months, the city’s Main Street closes to vehicles for transformation into an alfresco dining area, with a number of local restaurants and bars providing service and live music performances. website , Map
