Since 1996, Insalata’s has brought the warm spirit of the Mediterranean to Marin. Oprah loved this place! Marinitas is owned by the same person and they offer cookbooks for sale.

Just like its namesake Farley, the popular San Francisco Chronicle comic-strip character created by the late Phil Frank, Farley Bar is a Bay Area favorite. Understated and relaxing, it offers a small-plate menu, creative cocktails, cozy fireplaces, leather club chairs, and a bar crafted from a fallen tree. Farley Bar's merry mix of lodge guests and locals provides the social heart of Cavallo Point.

Just north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais State Park rises majestically from the heart of Marin County. Its deep canyons and sweeping hillsides are cloaked with cool redwood forests, oak woodlands, open grasslands, and sturdy chaparral. The breathtaking panorama from Mount Tamalpais’s 2,571-foot peak includes the Farallon Islands 25 miles out to sea, the Marin County hills, San Francisco Bay, the East Bay, and Mount Diablo. On rare occasions, the snow-covered Sierra Nevada can be seen 150 miles away. The park offers superlative hiking, picnicking, wildlife watching, and mountain and road bicycling.

History buffs and hikers alike will be fascinated by China Camp State Park in San Rafael, with 15 miles of trails winding through a Gold Rush-era shrimp fishing village on the shores of the San Pablo Bay. Many historical artifacts remain there to this day, and waterfront views mix with unparalleled wildlife watching opportunities in a park also popular with horseback riders, kayakers, and stand-up paddleboarders.

An island in the San Francisco Bay, so you will need to make arrangements to get there by boat. But the 13 miles of trails offer remarkable views of the San Francisco skyline, Mount Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands, and the 360-degree view from atop Mount Livermore is an uphill climb that’s worth the rewards.

Perhaps the most famed view in Marin County is the scenic vista view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands trails. Advanced hikers can find their spectacular scenery on trails like the Pacific Coast’s Muir Beach to Tennessee Beach Loop, or the very challenging 31-mile Ridge to Bridge Trail that spans from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Walk among old growth coast redwoods, cooling their roots in the fresh water of Redwood Creek and lifting their crowns to reach the sun and fog. Federally protected as a National Monument since 1908, this primeval forest is both refuge and laboratory, revealing our relationship with the living landscape.
