Angel Island & Tiburon

Family-friendly lodging in Tiburon for a trip to Angel Island

April 2004

Hi, We're looking for a nice place to stay in or near Tiburon that would be friendly to a 6 month old. We're planning a night on Angel Island, and thought we might want a cushier night either the day before or after, close by. jm

There are two places to stay in Tiburon: The Water's Edge and Tiburon Lodge. The Water's Edge is more upscale and (as you'd guess from the name) right on the water on Main Street. You're a 15-second walk from the Angel Island Ferry, Sam's, etc. The Tiburon Lodge is more modest; it's fine, but it's really just a motel (with pool). It's only a couple of blocks from the ferry and other waterfront stuff. For more information, go to: http://www.marinhotels.com/waters_guestrooms.html and http://www.tiburonlodge.com/. For more information on Tiburon generally, go to www.tiburon.org. Ann

Visiting Angel Island

Nov 1997

We live in Marin County, and can recommend Angel Island as another fine place to go with kids, for hiking, biking, or just a picnic. You can get there via ferry from Tiburon.

Speaking of the Tiburon - Angel Island ferry... they run sunset cruises around the Bay on the weekends, at least during the summer. You bring your own dinner and watch the sunset as the ferry takes you around Belvedere Island, past Strawberry, Sausalito, and Alcatraz, under the Bay Bridge, and back to Tiburon. Duff
