To Marin County M arin County lying just 5 miles north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, has one of the most beautiful countrysides in Northern California, and one of the finest climates.
Temperatures are moderate and vary little from season to season.
To the east of the county is the San Francisco Bay. But the Spanish influence in the area did not really begin until the land explorers came in 1769. Almost immediately, Marin County became a haven of relief from the hustle and bustle of the City across the Bay. Marin is an easy commute to San Francisco via Golden Gate Transit commute buses, which use special rush hour freeway lanes. A comfortable, convenient ferry service is available with regular departures from Sausalito, Tiburon or Larkspur to the downtown financial district of San Francisco.
