    We took the Blue and Gold Ferry to SAUSALITO a village of art galleries, quaint shops and waterfront restaurants with views of San Francisco across the bay. Hans and I strolled around town and stopped in an ice cream parlour for a double-dipped butter pecan waffle cone ice cream.mmmmmm good. We stayed for a couple of hours and then took the ferry back to Fisherman's Wharf.

    At the end of Market Street in the downtown financial district of San Francisco is the Ferry Building. You can easily spot it by the clock tower. Also, Market Street dead ends with the Ferry Building straight ahead. From there, you can take a pleasant ride across the bay to the beautiful villages of Sausalito & Tiburon. I described Sausalito in my previous chapter. Tiburon looks different, has several outdoor restaurants over the water with great views, lots of interesting shops & and a wine store that offers free wine tasting - it's fun & delicious to compare the various wines. As you may know, just north of Marin Country where these villages exist are the counties of Napa & Sonoma, also known as the Wine Country. That's where so many of the California wines come from.

    "Sausalito is located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, on the south-eastern tip of Marin County. Sausalito was incorporated in 1893, and named by 18th century Spanish explorers for the "little willow" trees (Saucelito) which were found, in abundance, on the banks of its streams. Sausalito covers a mere two and one half miles; a small town of only 7,500 residents boasting spectacular waterfront views." - from City of Sausalito homepage - http://www.ci.sausalito.ca.us/vis-info/index.htm Sausalito is easily accessible by ferry from San Francisco. It is a perfect getaway for a day - or maybe half a day. You can stroll along the shore, check out the art shops or have a nice lunch/dinner at one of the restaurants. If you can catch the artfestival (see link below) all the better! Biking across the Golden Gate and catching the ferry back is also an interesting option... There are a lot of bike shops that will provide you with the rentals and maps around Pier 39. http://www.goldengateferry.org/schedules/ http://www.transitinfo.org/Sched/GF/SAUS/ http://www.sausalitoartfestival.org/home.html

    A cutesy, artsy place to see and be seen. Shop, browse, have coffee, ice cream, people-watch or just stroll. You will really like this little town called Sausalito....across the Golden Gate Bridge, just a hop, skip, and jump away from San Francisco. Take the time to explore...you will be glad you did.

  • I have to tell you. This is one of my favorite things to do when I come to San Francisco. The ferries here are so good. It really is the sister city to Sydney. You can actually disappear in your thoughts in some of the best scenary out there. Wow. I am getting "home sick" just thinking about it. You can come spend a day in Sausalito or any of the other towns around here. No trip here should be considered complete without doing this.

    Sausalito is about 8 miles north of downtown San Francisco and has been called, 'the Riviera of California.' It's a beautiful, quiet, artistic community that offers an historic downtown, some great view of the city and Angel Island, as well as some great restaurants and parks. If you only have a half a day for a day trip, this would be the place to go.

    Visit Sausalito for the day or just afternoon. You can walk across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, and take the ferry back.

    Sausalito is a very touristy 'chi-chi' place. The town is a sleepy fishing village gone touristy, but is still fun for the ferry ride and views of the bay. You should buy some ice cream in Sausalito and stroll around. I just loved this area but the restaurants are very overpriced in Sausalito. At one time there was a lot of houseboats moored here but they had mostly moved on. .

    Sausalito...just across the Golden Gate from SF. Sausalito has some great things to see, and you will get the best view of the Golden Gate and SF from here. Lots of Bed and Breakfasts are also located here in this upscale community. Picture is from the following website that has a live cam picture changed frequently every hour. http://www.mapwest.com/web_cam/sausalito/listing.html

    The beauty of visiting San Francisco is the other attractions nearby. One of the side trip should be across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito in Marin county. It's very small but it lends a spectacular view of San Francisco. One suggestion is to eat at a restaurant by the wharf so you can admire SF from afar.
