Sausalito Day-Trip is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.
Allow Half day.
A short ferry under the bridge drops you in a sunny, yacht-lined village of galleries, cafes and houseboats, with skyline views back at the city — the ferry ride alone is worth it, and Sausalito often beats the city's fog. The catch: the town itself is small, pretty-but-pricey, and can feel like a tourist boutique strip.
