Sausalito

Sausalito was incorporated in 1893, and named by 18th century Spanish explorers for the "little willow" trees (Saucelito) which were found, in abundance, on the banks of its streams.

Outdoor recreation in Sausalito includes windsurfing, jet skiing, sailing, sport fishing, bicycling, picnics in the park, tennis or just strolling on the boardwalk by the bay. Visitors can charter sailboats or fishing boats of all sizes to challenge the beauty of the bay waters.

Sausalito is located in Marin County just north of San Francisco between Mill Valley and San Francisco along US Highway 101 near the San Francisco and San Pablo bays and the Pacific Ocean.

Sausalito is part of the San Francisco, California metro area.
