Day Trip Guide to Sausalito - Just 10 Minutes Outside San Francisco!

If you're looking for a small coastal town with a laid back and relaxing atmosphere, look no further than Sausalito. This under the radar gem is located in Marin County, just 10 minutes from San Francisco, making it the perfect escape for a fun day trip out of the city. With a backdrop of beautifully lush rolling hills and seaside houses on the sparkling Bay water, a trip to this quaint town can help you feel renewed.

When my husband and I lived in San Francisco, we would cross over the Golden Gate Bridge for a leisurely day trip to Sausalito. This small seaside town is located right on the other side of the bridge. Sausalito is a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the metro San Francisco city. The pace is much slower and serene, and you can see views of the city skyline and Golden Gate Bridge from another angle.

Popular activities in Sausalito often include water-sports in the bay, and then a well-earned meal afterwards. You can spend your day sailing, kayaking, strolling along the waterfront, or exploring the many shops and restaurants that line the streets. In this small corner of Marin County there’s a surprising vibrant foodie scene with a wide variety of modern cuisine.

In this Sausalito travel guide you’ll find everything you need to build a fun weekend itinerary.
