Tiburon Possibly Marin County s smartest community, it stands as a less hectic alternative to Sausalito for its views and restaurants. Here, 100-year-old houseboats ( arks ) have been pulled ashore, lined up, and refurbished, forming what is called Ark Row, where you ll find shops and restaurants that enhance the charm of this waterfront village. Tiburon also offers scenic parks along the shore, facing Angel Island and the city. d Hwy 131
