Nestled in Marin County, California, the United States, Sausalito springs from modest origins as a Coast Miwok settlement known as Liwanelowa. The city takes its name from the Spanish term 'sauzalito', translating to 'small willow grove'. European settlers, led by William A. Richardson, first harnessed its natural resources in 1838, building upon its commercial potential due to its proximity to San Francisco Bay. Over the years, it has navigated various economic ventures — from shipbuilding and bootlegging to sterling contributions to the war effort via the Marinship shipyard during World War II.

Today, with a population of 7,269, Sausalito stands as a vibrant gem on the Golden Gate Bridge's northern edge, largely bordered by the protected spaces of Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Its Mediterranean climate, coupled with its fascinating history and thriving arts scene, make it a captivating destination awaiting your exploration.

When to visit Sausalito

Blessed with a temperate climate, Sausalito promises pleasant weather year-round, a stark relief against many tourist hotspots. The mercury seldom dips below 14.2°C even during the warmer months of July, August, and September, ensuring comfortable nights whilst the days are gloriously warm. Moreover, rainfall is lesser during these months, making them the most popular among tourists.

However, if you would prefer quieter streets and lower prices, November's reduced tourism might appeal. Alternatively, you could consider visiting in the spring or fall seasons, when the weather remains moderate and the crowds thinner. Regardless of when you choose to visit, the charm of Sausalito glows ceaselessly, inviting you to immerse yourself in its enthralling narrative and unpretentious glamour.
