Downtown Tiburon – Restaurants/Shopping (Tiburon)

Tiburon

 

Tiburon is the last bastion of homegrown stores in Marin. Without a chain in sight, Main Street is a collection of pricey boutiques, eclectic shops and historic buildings. The nicest thing about this neighborhood is how walkable it is (plus the view of San Francisco are spectacular if you go into any of the dockside restaurants like Guaymas or Sam’s Anchor Cafe). Look for Tiburon’s Ark Row further down Main Street, a borough that in the 1890’s was a houseboat neighborhood.

Downtown Mill Valley – Restaurants/Shopping (Mill Valley)

Mill Valley

Sunnyside and Miller Avenues

This former mill town has become a hotbed for bourgeois bohemian families. An off mix of laid-back attitudes (middle-agers playing hackey sack in the town center) and Yuppie lifestyles prevails here. Browse the cute little boutiques, have a latte at the popular Depot coffee house and bookstore, and do some great “only-in-Marin” people watching.

Downtown San Anselmo

San Anselmo is the antique store capital of Marin with 130 shops (with a large percentage of them being great antique spots) in its quaint downtown. With a small creek, a great little diner named Bubba’s with truly gourmet cuisine, and some of the most friendly folks in the Bay Area walking the streets, this is a great place for a sunny day stroll as it’s as close to Main Street America as you’ll find in the North Bay Area.
