Sausalito
2 ideas shared
For a visitor who likes how things work: the Bay Model in Sausalito is a free, room-sized working hydraulic model of the whole Bay-Delta. Pair it with a walk out to the Gate 5 houseboats. It is the kind of weird, earnest, mid-century civic thing you cannot find anywhere else.
The junction empties out at night. A couple of solid, mid-priced restaurants and a casual spot for a beer would give Southern Marin somewhere to go on a weeknight without crossing the bridge or fighting for a table in Sausalito. Evening life is what makes a place feel like a town.
