More Fun for Less Money!

I’m passionate about Sausalito, Marin and San Francisco, and we’re celebrating ten years of sharing insider tips to save you time, cash and aggravation. This is not a marketing page and I’m not a marketing guy, which is why we’re the largest and the most-visited Sausalito website in the world. (Source: Alexa, June 2017 & Dec. 2017.)

My family first appeared in the pages of the Sausalito News in 1905. Four more generations have been born in this area, traveled the world, and always come back to the only place that ever felt like home.

Sausalito view

Whenever I see someone here who’s peering at a map, I’ll walk up and offer to help. Every “Thank you!” makes my day. On these pages my friends and I will share the real stories of what to expect here, including:

* Fun things to do & the locals’ favorite places to eat *
* Insider tips to save you time, money and aggravation *
* Sausalito Ferries (both of them) and Houseboats (lots of them) *
* Alcatraz (and when to buy tickets), the Golden Gate Bridge & Muir Woods *
* The Dock of the Bay where Otis Redding wrote “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” *
* Why Hurricane Gulch is called Hurricane Gulch *
