Map of Marin & Directions

Just across the Golden Gate Bridge, and minutes from downtown San Francisco, lies magnificent Marin County, California. Surrounded by water on three sides, visitors can explore wild and scenic California beaches, enjoy sailing and windsurfing in San Francisco Bay, or marvel at the ancient redwood forest on the slopes of legendary Mt. Tamalpais. The natural environment of Marin County is breathtaking! 

Marin County is conveniently located between San Francisco and the Napa and Sonoma Wine Country, and its warm, sunny California climate makes it possible to enjoy Marin’s incredible array of outdoor attractions all year. Marin is a natural for outdoor recreation — mountain biking, hiking, fishing, bird watching, windsurfing, kayaking, golf and tennis.

Music, art and film festivals, and historical and cultural venues like the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Civic Center continue to attract people from all over the world. Many California-grown organic fruits and vegetables, artisan cheeses, fresh seafood and some of the world’s best wines appear on the menus in Marin’s diverse restaurants. Wine tasting, antique shopping and exploring Marin County’s scenic countryside are all part of this California vacation paradise.

Whether it’s a bed and breakfast in a quaint downtown, a romantic hideaway on the coast, a full-service luxury hotel, or facilities to accommodate business meetings and conferences, Marin is an affordable alternative to its San Francisco neighbor. For an unforgettable California getaway, visit magnificent Marin.County of Marin
