“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
– Pablo Picasso
Located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, the scenic waterfront city of Sausalito is one of Northern California’s most popular tourist destinations. If you’re driving from San Francisco, take a short detour on your way to Sausalito and stop at the scenic Marin Headlands. It’s one of our favorite vantage points of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline. The views from the top are absolutely spectacular, especially on a fog-free sunny day.
