 Sausalito, California
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.

AAA on Sausalito
"On sunny Saturdays or Sundays, the bayside town of Sausalito is busy with tourists, strolling the waterfront, searching through the myriad shops and galleries, packing the cafes. This is the Sausalito most visitors know. To find another, one that is serendipitously serene, you have only to stay the night. As the sun drops behind the Marin Headlands, the ferries take away the last day-trippers, and weekenders can dine peacefully by water's edge, do some leisurely Christmas shopping, have a drink and soak in some live music at the famous No Name Bar, and relish the town's empty mornings. During the day, join the hustle and bustle, or escape the crowds by land or by sea." Read more...
