Sausalito

Golden Gate neighbor

Sausalito is a small city in Marin County, California, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco.

Known for its hillside homes, houseboat community, and waterfront views of the San Francisco Bay, it functions as both an upscale residential area and a tourist destination: We took the ferry from Sausalito back to the city.
