There’s a particular quality to a Sausalito spring that locals guard a little jealously. The winter rains have done their work, coaxing the Marin hills into a vivid, almost improbable green. Wildflowers spill down the slopes of the Marin Headlands—California poppies, lupine, and drifts of wild mustard that seem to glow in the afternoon light. The air carries eucalyptus, salt, and the first warm notes of the season. This is the town at its best: uncrowded, golden-hour-lit, and utterly unhurried.
Mornings along the waterfront begin softly. Fog drifts in overnight and burns off by mid-morning, revealing the kind of bay view that tends to stop conversation: San Francisco’s skyline rising across the water, Angel Island catching the first real sun of the day, sailboats tracing wide white arcs through Richardson Bay. From your room at Inn Above Tide—perched directly over the water at the edge of the village—those views arrive without any effort on your part. Open the balcony doors and you’re already there.
Spring is arguably the finest time to walk Bridgeway, the town’s waterfront promenade. The summer crowds haven’t fully arrived yet, and the storefronts—independent galleries, bookshops, small boutiques—feel more like neighbors than attractions. Stop for an espresso at one of the sidewalk cafés. Browse the work of local artists, many of whom have kept studios here for decades. Drift down to the public docks, where sea lions haul out on the wooden pilings and the houseboat community stretches north in a cheerful, colorful line of floating homes.
For travelers who want to stretch their legs, the Marin Headlands are just minutes away and never more beautiful than in March and April. The trails reveal fresh perspectives on the Golden Gate Bridge—that famous vermilion span looks almost unreal against a backdrop of green hills and blue water. The Coastal Trail offers gentle inclines and dramatic vistas; the more ambitious route up Hawk Hill rewards you with a panorama that reaches from the Farallon Islands all the way to Mount Tamalpais. If you time it right, you might even spot migrating gray whales making their way north to Alaska.
Muir Woods, a short drive through winding coastal roads, is another spring revelation. The old-growth redwoods live on their own quiet timescale, but spring brings new ferns, trillium, and the soft sound of Redwood Creek running full. It’s the kind of place that resets something inside you. Reserve a parking spot in advance—it’s required year-round, and spring weekends fill up quickly.
Food in Sausalito rewards the curious buyers of the Sausalito Escape package. Poggio’s Tuscan menu has been a downtown fixture for good reason; Sushi Ran draws serious diners from across the bay; the waterfront seafood spots serve lunch with views that don’t need to try. For a more casual afternoon, pick up something from the farmers’ market, which returns each spring with Marin’s produce, cheeses, and cut flowers at their most abundant.
And then there’s the simple matter of the ferry. A short ride from the San Francisco waterfront drops you within walking distance of the hotel, which means a day in the city can easily bookend your stay. But the better move might be the reverse: let San Francisco fade behind you across the bay, and arrive somewhere quieter, slower, more attuned to the tide.
Spring in Sausalito is a short season—mild weather, long light, open trails, and hillsides that won’t look this green again until next year. The Sausalito Escape package is our invitation to claim a piece of it before it’s gone.
Celebrate the return of the Bay Bridge Lights with an unforgettable waterfront escape.

ACCA White Sturgeon caviar with the classic accompaniments of crème fraîche, wafer-thin crackers, and a mother-of-pearl spoon) paired with two half-bottles of Champagne (a Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2016 and a Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label).
