Sausalito Information

Sausalito is a San Francisco Bay Area city which is eight miles southeast of San Rafael and it is commonly referred to as the “Sutter Creek of the North Bay.” The community receives a large portion of its visitors due to the fact that the city is situated near the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco and before the bridge it served as a terminal for ferry and car traffic. Sausalito began as a 19,000 acre land grant to an army captain in 1838 and today is a tourist haven.
