Review:

Charming and relaxed, full of history and offering breathtaking views of the bay, Sausalito located at the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, at the edge of the Bay is.

The best way to get a feel for the city is by taking a ferry - with views of Sausalito's hills dotted with lovely homes and thriving marina on one side and the spectacular view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge on the other, ferries offer more fun than any tour boat you might take.

A rich shipbuilding center in World War II, the city is still closely connected to the sea as you can see by the number of boats in the marina, but its closeness to San Francisco made it a preferred home to many San Franciscans, especially the wealthy and artistic.

Take a stroll along the water's edge to see some of the historic houses, walk to the north end of town to see more than 400 houseboats that congregate there, check out the famous Sausalito shops and stop by one of the many seafood restaurants where the fish just came off the boat. Take a stroll to the Marin Headlands, a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, where you will see some of the world's oldest coastal redwoods.
