| Pretty, smug little Sausalito, along the bay below
US-101, was once a gritty community of fishermen and sea traders,
full of bars and bordellos. Now exclusive restaurants and pricey boutiques
line its picturesque waterfront promenade, and expensive, quirky
houses
climb the overgrown cliffs above Bridgeway Avenue, the main road
and bus route through town. Ferries from San Francisco arrive next to
the
Sausalito Yacht Club in the town center. Aside from walking, shopping and sucking in the sea air, Sausalito has a one-of-a-kind exhibit in the Bay Model Visitor Center , 2100 Bridgeway (Tues-Fri 9am-4pm, Sat & Sun 10am-5pm; donation), where elevated walkways in a huge building lead you around a scale model of the entire bay, surrounding deltas and its aquatic inhabitants.
