Local Attractions

Explore the Best of the Bay Area

We are fortunate to count as our neighbors some of the most popular sites in California. Close to everything, but away from it all, Cavallo Point is the perfect base camp for exploring the very best the Bay Area has to offer. Let our Les Clefs d’Or Concierge help you plan your visit to our local attractions in Sausalito and in our neighboring areas.

Alcatraz Island

Alcatraz Island

The infamous island reveals complex histories of American justice, incarceration, and the struggle for Native American civil rights. And on a clear day, it’s worth a visit simply for the ferry ride and panoramic bay views. Please note: There is no admission fee for Alcatraz itself, but you must purchase ferry-service tickets, which often sell out in advance.

Muir Woods trees

Muir Woods National Monument

Immerse yourself in dense forests of coastal redwoods at Muir Woods National Monument. One of California’s most popular destinations, Muir Woods is 10 miles (about a 25-minute drive) from Cavallo Point. Planning a visit can be complicated — it is crucial to make parking or shuttle reservations in advance. Let our concierge assist with all the details!
