Sometimes, it seems like everyone wants to live in Marin County. It certainly does have a great deal to recommend it, offering natural beauty along California’s Pacific coast. However, amenities abound both man-made and natural. These reasons can motivate you to look for luxury condos for sale in Marin County.
Of course, living near the vast Pacific Ocean is one of many pleasures of life in Marin. Especially when it comes to beautiful San Francisco Bay. The bay is a drowned river valley, covered with water during the last glacial ice-sheet melt. Now, it’s home to a great many sea creatures. These include:
Whales — Gray, Humpback, Blue, Fin, Sperm, Orcas, & Hubb’s Beak
Dolphins & Porpoises — Striped, Spotted, & Bottlenose Dolphins; Dall’s & Harbor Porpoises
Sea-Lions & Seals — Northern & California Sea-Lions; Northern Fur, Guadalupe Fur, and Northern Elephant Seals
Aquatic Life Up Close & Personal
It’s possible to glimpse these wondrous creatures, but for a sure bet, take a boat tour or even a visit to San Francisco’s Aquarium of the Bay. Located on the edge of Pier 39, the aquarium gives you a chance to get up close and personal with more than 20,000 marine animals from squid to octopus to river otters and jellyfish. This is just one more reason to live in Marin County.
