Sausalito, Calif. — There are hardly any hotels in town (about 2) but tourists visiting San Francisco can’t get enough of Sausalito, located across the bay in Marin County. The picturesque city of under 8,000 people has a harbor where locals are planning their light decorations for the annual Sausalito holiday boat parade, and is the gateway to some stunning national parks, forests and beaches that the public can explore. When visiting, take time to dine along the waterfront and visit the stores & shops that line this portion of the San Francisco Bay.
