The beautiful waterfront community of Sausalito brings together stunning views, small-town charm and a combination of maritime and artistic vibes. Sausalito is characterized by many as a tourist town and for good reason. The setting is spectacular and people want to visit it. But it is more than just a tourist destination. It has a rich history and culture and a true sense of community with regular events around town that draw many to this San Francisco bedroom community. Reminiscent of the French Riviera, it sits at the edge of the Bay on the steep slopes of the Marin Headlands with spectacular views of San Francisco, Angel Island, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.

While the quaint downtown area of Sausalito is an iconic destination in the Bay Area with its harbors, boutiques, beautiful art galleries, restaurants on the water and jaw-dropping views, it can be quite busy with visitors. For a quieter and more local experience, the Old Town area along Caledonia Street is the place to go.

Sausalito has a long history as a maritime village, but also has a well-deserved reputation as a refuge for free-thinkers, artists and those with an independent streak. During World War II, the marshy area in north Sausalito was hastily filled in and turned into Marinship Shipyards producing merchant ships to carry supplies around the world. After World War II when the shipyard was abandoned nearly as quickly as it was built, artists and craftspeople began to move in filling the void. Many small naval and civilian vessels, as well as decommissioned ferry boats were left behind which ushered in the beginning of Sausalito's famed houseboat communities and the area provided a place for Sausalito's already active artist community to grow.

Today's Sausalito retains many elements of its historical past. It continues to be a magnet for those who love the water with a bohemian spirit woven into an upscale lifestyle. The housing options embody the towns history with varied options such as condos, townhomes, house boats, bungalows, victorians, old world mansions and spectacular cliff-hanging modern marvels. Boasting amazing hiking and biking trails, a plethora of maritime activities and community events, a temperate climate, old world charm, terrific proximity to San Francisco and some of the regions most spectacular views and prized residences, Sausalito is a great choice to make home.
Downtown Sausalito and the Bridgeway Promenade along the waterfront serve as the city's Main Street. The downtown district is highly-walkable and contains unique boutiques, art galleries and specialty shops of all kinds. In addition, there is an assortment of fine restaurants and coffee shops where locals and visitors alike love to gather. One of the many famed restaurants in Sausalito is The Trident with its storied and racy history. This landmark structure was originally constructed in 1898 to house the San Francisco Yacht Club and eventually became the iconic 60's restaurant built out over the water that served as a regular gathering place for luminaries of the time and culture such as Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, Joan Baez, Clint Eastwood, the Smothers Brothers and Bill Graham to name a few. It still maintains a 60's era decor and vibe. Other over-the-water mainstays that offer fresh seafood and stellar views are Scoma's and Spinnaker.

.Sausalito's houseboat community on Richmond Bay, known locally as Waldo Point Harbor, has drawn tourists since its first construction after World War II by local artists and veterans. These charming and unconventional houses are worth exploring.
