The Sailing Museum is an educational non-profit organization that is home to the National Sailing Hall of Fame and America's Cup Hall of Fame. In the space once used as the Press Room for the America's Cup the heritage of sailing will be celebrated, the legends of the sport honored and new sailors and innovators inspired.

During the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families flocked to the City by the Sea and its surrounding areas; making the area their summertime playground.

All that being said, simply having access to and enjoying the breathtaking grounds and cliffside vantage points of these homes is a treasure we cherish.
