Just across the Golden Gate Strait lies Sausalito, California. Part of scenic Marin County, this seaside community in San Francisco’s backyard has an abundance of shops and dining opportunities, scenic views, charming houseboat enclaves, and plenty of space for strolls along the water. We love the Trident Bar and Grill right on the water and Dita's Marin above it.
