Restaurants Within Walking Distance of the Sausalito Ferry
A wide range of Sausalito restaurants lie within just a few blocks of the ferry pier in Sausalito, almost all of them on the main north-south street called Bridgeway.
Here are some of our favorites, and there are more choices you can discover just walking around the area. These restaurants are all located on or within one block of Bridgeway. Walk towards the hillside from the pier as you disembark and you'll reach Bridgeway. Turn left to go south towards the Bay, right to go north towards the laid-back Caledonia neighborhood.
