May Magic in Tiburon
Perched on a peninsula just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Tiburon is Marin County’s most scenic town. Think: Mediterranean sunshine and small-town coastal charm. With its historic railroad roots, sparkling San Francisco Bay views, and walkable downtown, Downtown Tiburon is ideal for day trips and overnights, lunch, or happy hour.
When May rolls around, the town isn’t just blooming with golden poppies and sunshine, it’s also bursting with reasons to visit.
