Sausalito Vacations, Sausalito Hotels, Activities, Wine Country Tours

Located immediately north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito anchors the south-eastern tip of Marin County, one of America’s most prestigious and beautiful locations.

Picturesque and tranquil, Sausalito offers spectacular waterfront views of San Francisco, landmark islands such as Alcatraz and the greater bay area, including the many bridges connecting the region.

Sausalito is a charming waterfront community that lies across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Because of its Mediterranean flair and breathtaking views, it is often compared to the French Riviera.

Today, you can stroll along the water and watch the sea lions cavort, rest in the plaza and listen to the splashing fountain, soak up the ambiance in the many open air cafes, browse through the unique boutiques, and check out the marinas. You can visit the Bay Model Visitor Center, a 1.5 acre working model of the bay, Sausalito’s famous houseboat community, or the Bay Area Discovery Museum, which contains interactive displays for kids of all ages. And there are many well groomed hiking and biking trails, as well as easy access to Muir Woods and Mt Tam.

For overnight guests there are five hotels, each with its special brand of charm and hospitality. And the town hosts a wide range of first-class restaurants, including those that have garnered national awards.

Sausalito is easily accessible by car or bus over the Golden Gate Bridge or by ferry from Fisherman’s Wharf or the Ferry Building on San Francisco’s Embarcadero.

Discover why Sausalito regularly attracts 40 percent of the San Francisco bay area’s tourists. This bay side village was incorporated in 1893 and named first by 18th century Spanish explorers after the abundant numbers of "little willow" trees (Saucelito) which were found on her banks and along her many natural streams. Geographically Sausalito covers only 2.5 miles and is home to only 7,500 residents who pride themselves on maintaining a pristine waterfront. Casual sophistication and fun, there are family activities and special events throughout the year.

Visitors enjoy world class hotels, both quaint and majestic bed and breakfast facilities and inns, a huge assortment of fine dining restaurants and cafes featuring nearly every cuisine specialty and ethnic palate, a diverse selection of shopping opportunities, art galleries, specialty retail outlets and fashion shops; naturalist, recreational and cultural attractions and much more.

The premier gateway to California’s world-famous wine country, Sausalito is easily accessed by ferryboat, car and public transportation and is known worldwide for its boutiques, street side cafés, every kind of boating rental, and as the best point of departure for the grand redwood groves of Muir Woods, the Golden Gate National Recreational Area, Stinson Beach and much, much more. Her quaint Mediterranean-style village atmosphere is a source of prides. When other bay area regions, especially San Francisco are laden with fog, Sausalito consistently enjoys excellent weather, unique shopping and beautiful, breathtaking views.

If you plan your trip around Labor Day weekend, you may enjoy the Number #1 Art Festival in the nation - The Sausalito Art Festival, which has been running annually for over 50 years.
