Wipe the 70s images of Marin from your mind because it’s now a major tourist destination with 2 million people visiting this year alone. Marin County’s 521 square miles include some of the state’s best-known destinations: Muir Woods, Stinson Beach, Sausalito, Angel Island, and more. Yet even some local San Franciscans who use Marin as their backyard playground have limited knowledge of the area. This compact Best Places guide will appeal to locals and tourists alike as a star-rated reference guide to the region’s best restaurants, shops, lodgings, art galleries, museums, recreational areas, and points of interest. A foldout map is included.
This review is from: Best Places Marin (Paperback)
Other guides to Marin may focus entirely on hiking, or biking, or history--this one actually includes all those things, plus reviews of restaurants, places to stay, and things to do (including shopping) that others leave out. Because the book covers a lot of topics of interest to visitors, you'd expect the reviews of hikes and restaurants to be too brief, which isn't the case at all. You'll get to know the county like a native.
