Things to do nearSausalito

The Sausalito Ferry has connected the Marin waterfront to San Francisco since the nineteenth century, when ferry travel was the only practical way to cross the bay. Today the crossing remains one of the most scenic commutes in the country, threading past Angel Island and offering unobstructed sightlines to the city skyline and the Marin Headlands.

Boarding at the Sausalito terminal places you moments from Downtown Sausalito, a walkable stretch of galleries, boutiques, and seafood restaurants that follows the curve of the waterfront. The neighborhood has long attracted artists and writers drawn by the light off the water and the relaxed pace of life.

Out on the bay, passengers on the upper deck are treated to some of the finest views the region offers. On clear days the Golden Gate Bridge fills the western horizon, its towers rising above the morning fog. The ferry also makes a practical base for exploring the wider bay, with connections and nearby access to hiking, kayaking, and waterfront dining. Few single journeys in Northern California pack as much scenery and history into so short a ride.
