Waldo Point Harbor Houseboats ⛵

Highlight • Settlement

Following WWII, the houseboat community began to develop in the area. Each houseboat boasts its own uniqueness, being privately owned. Access to the area is allowed, but it is requested that visitors respect the houses and their privacy.

Sausalito Houseboats

Highlight • Settlement

The Sausalito houseboat community is full of architectural gems and repurposed old working boats, and each is wonderfully unique. Bikes are not allowed on the dock, so you must park your bike to get a closer look; however, remember to be respectful when visiting, as these are residential homes, and you are close to someone's living space.

Marinship Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Green lawn hidden in the boatlands of Sausalito, where there used to be the Marinship Wharf founded by Kaiser Shipyards, one of several locations around the Bay to build the World War II "Liberty Ships" in big numbers and in record time.

Schoonmaker Beach

Highlight • Beach

Little known white sandy beach on the lee shore inside the Bay, calmer than beaches on the coast with waves pounding in. Schoonmaker Beach is sheltered inside the protective walls of a marina, a fabulous spot without the long drive out to the coast.
This is an especially popular place for families with little kids, since the gentle Bay waters are perfect for shallow water play in the sand. Schoonmaker Beach is also a popular launch point for kayakers and paddle boarders, and you’ll sometimes hear it called Kayak Beach. Free parking, bathrooms, restaurants nearby.
