Residents and visitors alike enjoy the convenient ferry service to both Angel Island State Park, a haven for biking and hiking, or to San Francisco, which is a delightful six miles across the bay. The San Francisco and Corinthian Yacht Clubs provide docks for hundreds of sailboats for local yachtsmen.
Tiburon’s historic and sheik Main Street is known as “Ark Row” because of the 1890s recreational houseboat lifestyle enjoyed in Belvedere Cove by sea captains, Bohemian artists, and summer residents from San Francisco. In winter, the arks anchored in the lagoon. After 1900, the craze for arks waned. Today it is lined with unique and trendy shops, art galleries, high-end waterfront restaurants and casual cafes.
