A passion for historic preservation and the latest shopping and dining trends thrive side-by-side in quaint Larkspur. With its early Queen Anne Victorians, false-front store facades, and beautiful City Hall, it’s easy to see why downtown Larkspur is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Alongside historic buildings such as the Blue Rock Inn and the restored Art Deco Lark Theater, you’ll find fashionable stores and restaurants on downtown’s Magnolia Avenue; more historic information can be found here.  For some entertainment, be sure to check out Marin Jazz performances at The Lark after dining at Left Bank Brasserie.

Right where the ferry docks at Larkspur Landing, you’ll find Marin Country Mart, an extraordinary open-air shopping and dining destination. Along with its noteworthy collection of appealing boutiques, farm-to-table eateries and convenient services, there are myriad events for adults and children.  Marin Country Mart also hosts a movie night for kids on Friday evenings, a Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, and Pony Rides on Sundays.

From the shopping center, you’re just steps away from the Golden Gate Ferry Larkspur terminal, a departure point for travelers going from Marin to the San Francisco Ferry Building. The boat ride offers spectacular views of Mount Tamalpais, Angel Island, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
