About Marin County Marin County


West Marin photo copyright Alan Bleiweiss Overview

Located just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Marin county is both vibrant and tranquil at the same time. Marin offers visitors and residents alike a plethora of opportunities to explore, adventure, shop, unwind, and otherwise experience life to it's fullest, all in one county.

Most of the county's residents and shopping experiences are nestled between Mount tamalpais and San Franscico bay, while unparalleled vistas and dazzling Pacific Ocean sunsets can be found throughout West Marin. Our county is a truly spectacular place to live, work and play.

Just a few of our more famous destinations and attractions include the Majestic redwoods of Muir Woods, the world famous Sausalito Art Festival, Point Reyes National Seashore, Mount Tam, and America's oldest cross country race (the Dipsea), which itself attracts thousands of athletes each year.
