Sausalito - Day Excursions from San Francisco
| 21 April 2010
Sausalito is a small town across the San Francisco Bay that makes a nice day out. Easily accessible by Ferry from Pier 39 or Embarcadero at Market, Sausalito is a sweet town with spectacular views over the Bay. The town is quiet and makes a change from the busy vibe of San Francisco. The souvenir shops and art galleries along the Bridleways are popular with tourists, but the floating houses are its most fascinating attraction. Otis Redding wrote his famous hit song The Dock of the Bay while he rented one of these floating jewels. Every year in September the Floating Houses Association organizes a tour around these unique homes; this year the tour will take place on the 25th of September.
The Sausalito Annual Art Festival is also in September. The festival, which draws a large selection of artists and craftsmen, takes place over Labor Day weekend (Labor Day falls on the first Monday in September).
The other unique attraction in Sausalito is the Bay Model, a three-dimensional hydraulic model of the San Francisco and Delta covering over 1.5 acres.
