Tiburon
Located on a hilly peninsula jutting into the north Bay just across from San Francisco, with large swaths of protected open space, Tiburon has the feel of a village, with a picturesque waterfront downtown, yet it is just minutes from San Francisco via the ferry or the Golden Gate Bridge.
Community activities abound. The San Francisco Yacht Club and Corinthian Yacht Club are short walks from downtown. Both feature active sailing programs. The Tiburon Peninsula Club and Belvedere Tennis Club offer tennis courts, pools, and exercise facilities, with active family and kids' programs. Hiking and biking trails run along the peninsula.
The town enjoys one of California's best public school systems and a state-of-the-art library sustained by active community participation and community resources.
