While it’s free to visit the Sausalito Boardwalk on your own, a number of affordable tours are available that combine the boardwalk with other nearby sights. Bike tours of the boardwalk and Golden Gate Bridge area start at around US$40, while driving tours of the boardwalk and Muir Woods cost about twice that.

You can reach the boardwalk by car by following Highway 101 north over the Golden Gate Bridge and taking the first exit at Alexander Street to the Sausalito waterfront. Biking over the bridge is another popular way to go. Or, take the ferry from Fisherman’s Wharf to Sausalito, then walk south along the coastline from the ferry landing to reach the boardwalk.

You may want to spend a couple of hours on the boardwalk, browsing the shops that line the western side of parallel Bridgeway, and having a bite at one of the restaurants jutting out into the water. You can also take in sights such as the Sea Lion Sculpture.

Yes, much of the Sausalito Boardwalk running parallel to Bridgeway is paved and flat, and wide enough to easily accommodate most wheelchairs and strollers. Ferries to Sausalito are also accessible, making it easy to reach the boardwalk by public transportation.

The best time of year to visit this outdoor attraction is the spring or fall, when the weather is mild and there are plenty of hours of daylight. Early morning and evening bring local joggers and dog walkers, while midday attracts tourists and locals out for a stroll. Views are the main draw here, so visit on a clear day to snap photos.
