By air
Sausalito proper has no airports, instead use one of the four Bay Area airports: [wiki=f4334fdfa1c728eae375fe781e2e2d9d]San Francisco[/wiki], [wiki=42bc6c2c3512654af8e0cdbdd15938cf]Santa Rosa[/wiki], [wiki=ca442975313ffa75bbac92e69d79507f]Oakland[/wiki], or [wiki=96013c3fbf1a809c8de7be7f9846d23e]San Jose[/wiki]. From there you can get to Sausalito.
-
By car
Sausalito is just over the Golden Gate Bridge (US 101) from San Francisco. Just take the first exit (Alexander Avenue) after crossing the bridge and follow it into town. If coming from the north, exit at the sign marked from Sausalito, turn left, and make your way down Bridgeway into town.
-
By ferry
Two ferry companies serve Sausalito:
* Offers ferry service to/from Pier 41 in San Francisco's [wiki=2a35bb96e5c90c9e9bae72464fec4b86]Fisherman's Wharf[/wiki]. It is a 30-35 minute trip.
* Offers ferry service to/from the historic Ferry Building in San Francisco's [wiki=3b61006c3bef82aae8b84f3cb15ec0b6]Financial District[/wiki]. It is a 25 minute trip.
-
By bike
A very popular cycle for tourists to [wiki=f4334fdfa1c728eae375fe781e2e2d9d]San Francisco[/wiki] is to hire a bike, cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge, and then down into Sausalito. Planning this the previous day will make sure you arrive in Sausalito in time for brunch. If worn out from the ride, you can catch the ferry back to San Francisco; the ferries have lots of capacity to carry bikes. A map of the route is available from most bike hire places in San Francisco.

Most of the frequently visited waterfront area can be seen on foot and are within easy walking distance from the ferry landing. Make sure to head north on your walk along Bridgeway to Caledonia Street - it's full of great stores, restaurants, cafes and art studios.
Sausalito is also an easy town to bike in. A favorite local ride is to Sam's Restaurant in [wiki=e2048b92f316a0ab781bf434465bd245]Tiburon[/wiki] for lunch or drinks on the huge (and very entertaining!) outdoor deck. It always seems to be sunny there, so bring your hat and sunscreen. Another not to be missed ride is from Sausalito to Mill Valley (hit the Depot for a great lunch) and on up any bike trail on Mt. Tamalpais.

Sausalito is blessed with more fine restaurants than a town of 7,000 people should have. Whatever you're looking to eat, Sausalito probably has a restaurant serving it up. Beware the 'touristy' district, however. While there are a few genuinely good restaurants, there are also a fair number of establishments catering basic grub to tourists.
* Angelinos, Italian, home-made pasta.
* Arawan, 47 Caledonia St, Phone: +1 415 332-0882. Serving Thai cuisine.

Fish is best enjoyed on a sunny day, al fresco on the large deck overlooking a fishing harbor on the north side of town. Despite being off the beaten path, Fish is always crowded on nice days. Cash only.
* Fred's Coffee Shop, 1917 Bridgeway, Phone: +1 415 332-4575. Fred's is a Sausalito institution. Fred's has only 6 tables, each seating 4-6 people. You're most likely to be seated with others at 'your' table, which often leads to interesting conversations. One table at Fred's has a brass plaque reading "Stamtisch" which means regular's table. Anyone can sit there if a chair is free. For breakfast, the Fred's French toast is pretty amazing. For those who prefer something a little more spicy, ask for the "Coyote Special", which is a cheese omlette covered with chili.

Hike to the ridge. Ask for directions to the Spencer Avenue parking lot (on 101) and start your hike at the trailhead across from the lot. It zig-zags up to a major trail where you take a right and then wind your way toward the ocean and beautiful ridge top views. From here, you can hike the Marin Headlands pretty much to anywhere along the coast, depending on your time and ability.
