Marin is located just across the Golden Gate Bridge and only
minutes from downtown San Francisco. Marin is a peninsula with its northern
root extending down from Sonoma county and its tip almost touching San Francisco.
The 520 square miles of Marin offer a wide variety of topography, climate, and
vegetation, from the tidal flats of the coastline to the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais
rising 2,600 feet above sea level; from the dense stands of redwood and pine
to the inland grasslands and exposed rocky areas, and the coastal fogs that
temper the warm inland temperatures in summer. Marin County has many state,
county and city operated parks and recreational facilities including: China
Camp State Park, Mt. Tamalpais State Park, Point Reyes National Seashore, and
the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Marin is culturally diverse and offers its residents and visitors a wide selection of music,
art, film festivals, and historical venues.
No description of Marin is complete without reference to the diverse restaurants,
wine tasting, antique shopping, or country drives along the scenic coastline.
Marin is the ideal destination for San Francisco residents who want to celebrate weddings or family occasions.
