Tiburon

I'm not against housing, but please keep anything new to two or three stories with real setbacks and trees. The whole reason people love Southern Marin is that it doesn't look like a wall of apartments along the highway. Build homes, just don't let it become a canyon of stucco that blocks the ridgeline view of Mt. Tam.
Tiburon is the easy win if your visitor wants pretty without effort. Walk up to Old St. Hilary's for the view, the little Railroad & Ferry Depot museum on Main Street is a charming twenty minutes, and Sam's deck for a drink over the water is the move at golden hour. Ferry home to SF if they are headed back.
If your visitor is an experienced paddler, sea-kayaking to Angel Island from Tiburon (with an outfitter — the currents are not a joke) is a step up from the ferry. You land somewhere quieter, picnic, and the crossing itself is the memory. Go with a guide the first time, full stop.
